This question may have been answered, looking for a good anchor that fits in the anchor locker for 2019 sx195.. The one that came with the boat is a POS. Always inland lakes of Michigan.

Mantus. Won’t fit in anchor locker unfortunately though. Still worth it to me.

I have a box and I love it. Works very well for us on our mud/silt bottom. And it collapses to fit into my anchor locker. I would definitely recommend it.

The Mantus gets very good reviews, as well. @farrelltravis on the board is a dealer, but many others have said good things as well. Encourage you to contact him for questions and if you want to buy (why not keep it in the family, right?)

212X, I anchor in a lake and the Colorado River. boat came with a Box anchor, and since the shop is local I went and picked up a shore spike/Slide anchor. I haven’t had the box anchor come loose yet but is is typically in sand/clay.

I have a small box. On the we footer, fold the box and run a piece of rebar through it and it’ll hang in the locker perfect. I painted my rebar 3 seasons ago with spray on truck bed liner to keep it from rusting.

during My second season I had issues with the small box slipping occasionally when we were out in wind and waves. My working theory was that the wave action caused the anchor to raise up enough so it would lose its grip in the sandy bottom. before last season I put about 8 feet of chain on it and it stayed put every time I set it all season. My theory is the wave action may upset the chain a bit but leaved the teeth on the anchor set.

That’s what the stretch lines on the anchor line are for.

When I had similar issues I found my scope was not enough.

The Mantus anchors are really good. I can testify personally to them. We have them for both the front and rear for both of our boats. Great anchors. You can watch test videos on our website. www.GetAGripAnchors.com
