This is a factory refurbished Fortress FX-37 anchor weighing 21 lb. It is machined from an aluminum alloy that the maker says is as strong as steel, with an anodized finish, and it can be taken apart. The fluke angle adjusts from 32° to 45°. Because the unit is remanufactured, it may show minor cosmetic imperfections, which the maker says do not affect performance. A lifetime parts replacement warranty applies.
Our take
The fluke angle adjusts between 32° and 45°, so the setting is something you choose rather than a fixed shape. This one is remanufactured, with only minor cosmetic imperfections that the maker says do not affect performance, and parts replacement is covered for life.
From our buying guide
The Coast Guard does not regulate anchors, so no anchor carries its approval. Each maker sizes on its own assumptions, so a size on one chart does not translate to another.
Check before you buy:
- You know what wind the maker's chart assumes. Rocna's assumes 50 knots and Fortress's 30 knots.
- It fits your bow, since makers say some designs fit bow rollers, bow pulpits or bowsprits better.
- The type suits your bottom. A Coast Guard Auxiliary article says the right type depends a lot on your boat, your anchoring and the make-up of the bottom.
