It typically consists of a heavy metal object with protruding flukes or blades designed to dig into the seabed and provide reliable holding power. Boat anchors are crucial for various marine activities such as fishing, mooring, and docking, ensuring stability and safety for the boat while stationary. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different boat types and water conditions. Boat anchor kits often include additional accessories like ropes and shackles, providing everything needed for efficient anchoring.
