Greenfield Products 669 11RD IND #11 Slip Ring Fluke Anchor 8lb Red Vinyl Coated

The Greenfield Products 669 11RD IND is an 8 lb red vinyl-coated slip ring fluke anchor designed for boats up to 24 feet. This traditional fluke anchor features an innovative sliding ring on the shaft that makes retrieval significantly easier than conventional anchors.

Key Features:

• Red vinyl coating protects boat finishes from scratches and abrasions
• Solid iron construction with mar-resistant plastisol coating
• Slip ring design allows easy retrieval by backing boat directly over anchor
• Ring slides to crown and releases anchor from opposite direction when snagged
• Self-releasing, lightweight, and easy to store
• Suitable for boats up to 24 feet in length

Installation Notes:

Anchor chain should always be used with steel fluke anchors to provide the extra weight necessary to maintain proper pull angle for setting. A good starting point is a chain length equal to the boat's length. Fluke anchors require a scope of at least 5:1 (rode length to water depth) for proper setting, with 7:1 scope recommended for optimal holding power.

Unlike traditional anchors that must be weighed by pulling up on the shank, the slip ring design allows you to back your boat directly over the anchor position, causing the ring to slide to the crown and release the anchor from the opposite direction—ideal for freeing snagged anchors.
