Lewmar Vector Manual Shallow Water Anchor, 8 ft. Depth, Pull-Rope Deployment, Black
The Lewmar Vector Manual Shallow Water Anchor is a pull-rope-operated shallow water anchor built to hold position in water up to 8 ft. Deep. Unlike powered shallow water anchors, the Vector Manual requires no hoses, pumps, or electric wiring, which keeps installation simple and eliminates the maintenance and potential failure points that come with an electrical system. Deployment and retrieval are both handled manually: release the elastic securing strap and loosen the tensioning/retrieval strap to lower the anchor to the bottom, then reach down and pull the retrieval strap to raise and lock the anchor back in place.
A fiberglass spike penetrates the bottom to hold the boat steady, and it is supported by a gas spring that keeps the spike secured and stable even through wake turbulence from passing boats. The housing is finished in powder-coated aluminum for corrosion resistance, allowing the anchor to stand up to ongoing exposure to the elements. The Vector Manual mounts using a universal hole pattern and is compatible with aftermarket mounts, and an optional quick-release mounting bracket is available separately for owners who want to move the anchor between boats or remove it for transport and storage.
