The Fortress Removable Boat Anchor is a lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy anchor designed for superior holding power and easy storage. It combines the benefits of traditional steel anchors with modern aluminum technology, offering exceptional performance across various seabed conditions.
- High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Construction: Crafted from a corrosion-resistant aluminum-magnesium alloy, the Fortress anchor is 45% lighter than a steel anchor of the same size, facilitating easier handling and storage.
- Adjustable Fluke Angles: The anchor features adjustable fluke angles of 32° for common bottoms and 45° for soft mud, allowing optimal performance in different seabed conditions.
- Easily Disassembled for Storage: Designed for quick disassembly, the Fortress anchor can be stored compactly, making it ideal for vessels with limited storage space.
- Superior Holding Power: In various tests, including those by the U.S. Navy, Fortress anchors have demonstrated holding power that can be up to twice that of comparable steel anchors.
- Lifetime Parts Replacement Warranty: Fortress Marine Anchors offers a 100% hassle-free lifetime parts replacement warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and customer satisfaction.
Specific dimensions and weight vary by model. For example, the FX-37 model has the following specifications:
- Weight: 21 lbs (9.5 kg)
- Shank Length: 40 inches (1,016 mm)
- Fluke Length: 24 inches (610 mm)
- Stock Length: 32 inches (813 mm)
The Fortress Removable Boat Anchor is suitable for a wide range of vessels, from small boats to larger yachts, depending on the specific model chosen. Anchor size recommendations are based on boat length and typical conditions. For instance, the FX-37 model is recommended for boats between 46' and 51' (14 to 15 meters) in length.
Mud Palms: Included with every Fortress anchor, these aluminum plates bolt onto the crown of the anchor to help it set faster in any type of sea bottom.
