About
Right for You If You Anchor Over Rock and Keep Losing Gear - the slip ring lets the shackle travel down the shank when you pull from the opposite direction, so a snagged 18 lb anchor breaks out backwards instead of staying on the bottom with your rode
The Anchor Bag Is Why This Costs More - most 18 lb fluke kits are an anchor, a rope and no bag at all. This one includes a heavy black PVC bag, and it is the part that stops the anchor damaging the boat instead of the other way round
Stops Metal-to-Metal Corrosion in the Locker - 18 lb of galvanised anchor resting hard against stainless or aluminium in a wet locker sets up corrosion at every contact point. The PVC bag keeps the two apart, which is worth more across one season than the bag is worth
Holds Boats 20 to 32 ft with 100 ft of Rode - 18 lb of galvanised fluke plus a 6.5 ft chain lead, and 100 ft of rode anchors you properly in 15 to 20 ft of water at correct scope
The Range by Boat Length - 8.5 lb kit for 15 to 22 ft, 13 lb kit to 30 ft, 18 lb slip ring kit for 20 to 32 ft. All three ship with the rope, the chain, the shackles and the PVC bag; only this one has the slip ring
How to Use It - shackle the 6.5 ft chain between the anchor and the rope, drop with the boat stopped, let out 5 to 7 ft of rode for every 1 ft of depth, then back down gently so the flukes bite. To break out, motor up past the anchor and pull from the far side
Everything in One Box - the 18 lb galvanised slip ring fluke anchor, 100 ft of rope, 6.5 ft of chain, the shackles and the PVC bag. Nothing else to buy before the first trip
