Manufactured in the USA from high tensile 4130 steel with galvanized coating, these anchors resist corrosion in saltwater conditions. The sharp triangular flukes penetrate soft seabeds effectively, providing secure grip even during tidal changes and strong currents. Available in 9, 14, 16, and 25-pound sizes, they accommodate boats from 17 to 40 feet with holding capacities between 600 and 1,600 pounds. The lightweight construction simplifies handling and deployment while maintaining durability.
