Fortress FX-16 Complete Anchoring System - FX-16-AS - 10 lb - 33' to 38'

Whether used as a primary anchor or conveniently-stowed backup, Fortress Marine Anchors are well-known for their exceptional holding capability.  

This Complete Anchoring Systems has it all.  Two large, precision-machined and sharpened flukes ensure that Fortress anchors set fast and dig deep.  Unlike others, they’re easily adjusted from a 32° angle for use in sand and clay to 45° for soft mud.  Unique Mud Palms are included to optimize setting performance in problem soft bottoms.  

Also included is 15′ of 1/4″ G-30 chain that is spliced to 250′ of shock- absorbing 3/8″ three-strand nylon rope and a 1/4″ shackle.

*For boats up to 38' (12 M) 

*Made in the U.S.A.
