GREENFIELD 516-RD Vinyl Coated River Anchor - 16 lb.

The River Anchor's Tri-Fluke design is a cast iron masterpiece, recommended for soft or moderate conditions and medium-duty use. The unique Tri-Fluke structure allows the anchor to effectively penetrate soft and moderate river bottoms, while also engaging rocks and structures in rivers and currents. This versatile anchor is an excellent choice for lighter craft or as a secondary anchor, designed to hold boats under 18 feet.

The weight of the River Anchor may vary slightly due to the metal and coating content, but the listed weights are approximate. The 16-pound River Anchor is specifically designed to securely hold boats under 18 feet in length.

One of the key features of the River Anchor is its ability to perform well in soft, river-like conditions. The Tri-Fluke design ensures that the anchor can easily penetrate and grip the soft river bottom, providing reliable holding power in these environments.

In addition to its soft-bottom capabilities, the River Anchor is also designed to engage with rocks and structures commonly found in rivers and areas with strong currents. This feature makes the anchor a versatile choice for a wide range of boating scenarios, from calm inland waterways to more dynamic river systems.

To protect the boat's finish, the River Anchor features a durable vinyl coating. This coating helps to prevent any unwanted scuffs or scratches, ensuring that your boat's appearance remains pristine.

When it comes to proper usage, the River Anchor is recommended to be used with a scope (the ratio of the length of the anchor line to the depth of the water) of 5:1. This ratio ensures that the anchor is able to effectively hold the boat in place, even in moderate conditions.

Overall, the River Anchor's Tri-Fluke design, versatile performance, and protective coating make it an excellent choice for boaters seeking a reliable and all-purpose anchor for their lighter craft or as a secondary anchor. Its ability to perform well in soft and moderate conditions, as well as its capacity to engage with rocks and structures, make it a well-rounded and highly-adaptable anchoring solution.
