Aluminum-Alloy Anchor for Boats 28-33 Feet","description":"Fortress G16 -- Guardian 8 lb. aluminum-alloy anchor for boats 28-33'\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fortress G16 Guardian aluminum-alloy anchor is designed specifically for boats ranging from 28 to 33 feet, offering a reliable and lightweight anchoring solution. Constructed from high tensile aluminum-magnesium alloy, this anchor combines strength and corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for marine environments. Its precision-machined design ensures durability and optimal performance, with features like a 32° fluke angle that enhances holding power in sandy or muddy seabeds.\u003cbr\u003e The G16 model features a weldless construction that maximizes strength while allowing disassembly for easy storage and transportation. Its lightweight design significantly reduces handling effort compared to traditional steel anchors, facilitating quicker deployment and retrieval. The anchor’s Mud Palms are engineered to help it set faster by creating a lift at the crown, which helps the flukes bite into the seabed more effectively. This feature improves anchoring in various bottom conditions, though it is less effective on rocky or grassy terrains.\u003cbr\u003e Designed with user convenience in mind, the Fortress G16 is an affordable alternative to heavier steel anchors, making it ideal as a spare or storm anchor. The rustproof aluminum alloy ensures longevity and maintains performance over time, even after exposure to harsh marine conditions. While the lightweight nature may cause the anchor to drift in strong currents if the boat is drifting backwards, it remains a trusted choice for many boaters seeking reliable anchoring in suitable bottom types. Made in the USA, the Fortress G16 combines innovation, strength, and ease of use, making it a practical addition to your marine gear.\u003cbr\u003e Key specifications include a shank length of 29 inches, a stock width of 23 inches, and a fluke length of 17 inches. It is best suited for sandy and muddy bottoms, providing a firm hold in these conditions. The pivoting fluke design enhances the anchoring efficiency, ensuring your boat remains secure during your voyage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConstructed from high tensile aluminum-magnesium alloy for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLightweight design reduces handling effort and facilitates easier deployment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDisassemblable for compact storage and convenient transportation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003es Mud Palms to help the anchor set faster in sandy and muddy bottoms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined with a 32° fluke angle for optimal holding power\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRustproof and durable, suitable for harsh marine environments\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for boats 28-33 feet, ideal as a primary or spare anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeldless design maximizes strength and longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fortress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44531155533866,"sku":"FORG16","price":123.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/FORG16_001.jpg?v=1783133737","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/fortress-g16-guardian-8-lb-aluminum-alloy-anchor-for-boats-28-33-feet","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
