Small box Anchor is a perfect fit in the AR240 locker

[Matt Phillips]

I cut the rubberized mats like they use in the bottom of the floor locker. I cut it to fit as it allows it to drain.

For protection around the top, I put some 1" Gorilla Tape around the edge and that's protected the opening pretty well.

As a side note, last season I had a couple of times when the small box slipped on me in the wind. This was on a sandy bottom. I attributed two possible factors to this: 1). the 242 has a large sail area; or 2) wave action may have been lifting the bar (and thus part of the Box Anchor) up a bit (this was with even 2.5:1 scope. Rather then buy a new anchor, at the beginning of the season I put about 8 feet of chain on the Box. The chain helped tremendously and that thing sticks on every throw.

Is this the anchor you're talking about? I need something different, the Danforth that it came with sucks (or I do) and can get it to hold....

That's it. you have to fold it down to fit it in the locker. I hung mine from the existing mounts with a piece of rebar I spray painted some truck bed liner onto.

They seem like good people, they are just down the street from my office.
I actually went in with cash and bought a shore spike and they gave me a discount and a free shirt.

When I first bought our boat I didn’t know anything about my box anchor, just used the factory one, I have since pulled the factory one and only use my box anchor and shore spike when needed.
