@SDAnderson51 Just measure the Stock length - the bar that holds the flukes. FYI - the part where the chain attaches is called the Shank and it confuses people sometimes - the Stock is the critical measurement to fit. I bought a Fortress G7 (4lbs) anchor as it's very light and easy to handle, and it was 18" across which is about 3/4 inch short in my boat so I screwed in rubber grommets on the ends of the keepers and it's tight in there now. Once you know the width of the keepers, you can size your anchor...should be about 20" for your boat.

FWIW, I bought a 9# slip ring type of danforth / fluke anchor for my 210 FSH. The stock was too long so I just trimmed the amount off that I needed for it to fit into the anchor keeper, 1/2” or so from each side. Nice thing about the slip ring design is that it is self freeing.
You can do the same thing with a regular fluke anchor be securing the chain to the base of the shank near the stock, then use a Ty wrap to hold the chain in position at the tip of the shank. If the anchor gets stuck, get up wind and when you pull on the rode the tywrap at the tip of the shank will break and the chain will pull at the base freeing the anchor.
