Lewmar Axis Electric Shallow Water Anchor, 8 ft
- Brand:
- Lewmar
- Part no:
- 69600943
The Lewmar Axis (model 69600943) is an electric shallow water anchor with an 8 ft extended length. It runs on 12V with no hydraulic pumps to install or maintain, and the maker says it deploys in about 8 seconds at the push of a button. The actuator is IP67M-rated, which covers water protection, not depth. The body is corrosion-resistant powder-coated aluminum with a fiberglass spike. The maker rates it for powerboats up to 26 ft or 4,500 lb. It is a direct-mount design for flat transoms, with optional brackets for select boat styles. Lewmar lists 6 ft and 8 ft anchoring depths for the line. The maker's warranty is 1 year.
Our take
This suits a DIY boater on a powerboat up to 26 ft who wants shallow-water anchoring without hydraulic lines. A Boating reviewer rated the install 3 of 5 and about 3 to 4 hours. Skip it without a flat transom. Depth ratings conflict between sources (6 to 8 ft from the maker, 7 ft from the reviewer), so check against your water.
