AnchorUP is a slender polyethylene container which carries the anchor in a stable, vertical position. Fluke and slip-ring style anchors take up much less space carried upright rather than when flat in a compartment or lying flat on the boat deck. This container accommodates fluke and slip-ring style anchors between 18-24 inches wide. AnchorUP has a small footprint----requiring less than half of the deck space normally required by a complete anchor-chain-rope assembly lying flat. It uses a heavy duty design with a wall thickness of almost a quarter inch. It is designed to be either screwed down to a boat deck, fastened from the side, or moved from place to place as needed. There are no hand holes or handles on this container. The container is 8 inches wide X 26 inches long at the top. It tapers down to only 6 inches wide by 24 inches long at the base. Height is 16 inches. Check your boat to make sure that the container will fit well for you. Because both ends are rounded (see photos), the boater can walk around safely on deck even while barefoot. Anchors load and unload quickly and quietly. Debris--such as mud and grass pulled up on the anchor--stays in the container. Ideal for Fortress FX-11, FX-16, Danforth 600, 920, 1300, and many other anchors of similar size. Fluke and slip ring style anchors are always a problem to load/unload when using a fiberglass compartment. As a result, many boaters use an undersized anchor with lower holding power than they really need. Move your anchor into this container and free up your fiberglass compartments for storage of other items. Move up to a larger anchor if you currently need increased holding power. Available in either white AU-W or black AU-B. Weight is 7 pounds. Measure both your anchor and available deck space before ordering!
