Anchoring properly takes more than an anchor, which is why this kit pairs an 8.5 lb hot-dipped galvanized fluke anchor with 7.9 feet of chain, 75 feet of nylon rope and two 0.4 inch shackles. The chain is the part boaters skip and then regret, since its weight lays the shank flat so the flukes dig in rather than dragging along the bottom. Fluke thickness measures 0.4 inches on a 0.2 inch plate in Q235A galvanized carbon steel, a combination sized for vessels under 18 feet in seas, rivers and sheltered shores. Hot-dip galvanizing resists the corrosion that pits a painted anchor after a season in salt water. The complete kit weighs 15.4 lbs and stows in a locker at 20.3 by 15.2 by 5 inches when the rope is coiled. The anchor weighs 8.5 lbs with 0.4 inch flukes on a 0.2 inch plate. Chain, rope and shackles bring the complete kit to 15.4 lbs.
Chain sets the anchor: A 7.9 foot chain lays the shank flat so the flukes bite into sand or mud instead of skipping along the bottom behind a rope-only rig.
Complete with rope and shackles: Seventy-five feet of nylon rode and two 0.4 inch shackles arrive with the anchor, so nothing else is needed to anchor the first day out.
Hot-dipped galvanized steel: The coating resists the pitting corrosion that eats a painted anchor after one season of salt water and locker storage.
Sized for boats under 18 feet: An 8.5 lb fluke with 0.4 inch flukes matches small runabouts, skiffs and center consoles in rivers, bays and sheltered coastal water.
Storage and care: The kit stows at 20.3 by 15.2 by 5 inches and weighs 15.4 lbs, rinse with fresh water after salt exposure, and it is imported.
