Fortress Marine Guardian Anchor

Built for strength without the bulk, the Fortress Guardian Anchor is crafted from a corrosion-resistant aluminum-magnesium alloy that’s tough yet lightweight. Its compact profile makes it easier to handle than traditional steel anchors, while still offering serious holding power.

Ideal for anyone who wants reliable performance minus the steel upkeep.

Guardian Anchor Selection Guide:

Boat size recommendations are for boats of average windage and proportions to 30 knots of wind, average bottom conditions, and moderate protection from open seas. Note that the loads in 42 knots of wind are twice as much as in 30 knots. Use a three-strand nylon line, 6-12 ft of chain, and a minimum if 5:1 scope. A minimum of 6 feet of chain should be used for every 25 feet of water your boat is usually anchored in.
