MarineNow Fluke Anchor Kit, 5 lb fluke anchor with 98' rope, 6.5 ft chain, galvanized hardware

MarineNow Deluxe Portable Fluke Anchor Kit is a compact, corrosion-resistant anchoring set that includes a 5 lb hot-dipped galvanized fluke anchor, 98' three-strand anchor line, six-and-a-half feet of chain, and two shackles for reliable holding on 10–18 ft boats.

Whether you fish from a small skiff, cruise a tender, or enjoy a day on an inflatable, a dependable anchor kit matters. This MarineNow kit bundles the hardware and rode sized for small recreational craft, combining a classic fluke-style anchor with chain and a long, three-strand rope to help set and maintain hold in a variety of bottom conditions. All metal parts are hot-dipped galvanized for enhanced rust resistance, and the line includes a 316-grade stainless steel thimble for durability where it counts.

How does this kit improve holding power for a 10–18 ft boat?

The fluke-style anchor is designed to dig into softer bottoms like sand and mud and develop a good bite quickly. Adding chain between anchor and rode helps the anchor lie flat during pull, reducing jerking and improving penetration for a steadier hold.

• 5 lb fluke anchor sized for 10–18 ft boats, optimized for small craft
• 6.5 ft of hot-dipped galvanized 1/4" chain to add weight and shock absorption
• 98' of 5/16" three-strand line for appropriate scope in most anchoring situations
• 316 stainless steel rope thimble preserves rope-eye under load

What corrosion protection and hardware quality are included?

Every metal component is hot-dipped galvanized to resist oxidation in a marine environment. The kit pairs galvanized shackles with a stainless thimble in the line, balancing cost and longevity so you get durable contact points where rope meets metal.

• Hot-dipped galvanized anchor and chain for long-term exterior resistance
• Two 2 5/16" hot-dipped galvanized shackles for secure connections
• 316 marine-grade stainless steel rope thimble to prevent wear in the eye
• Three-strand 5/16" (8mm) rope for traditional strength and knotability

How do I fit and store this anchor kit aboard a small boat?

The fluke anchor's compact profile and the coiled rope make it simple to stow in a locker or bow compartment. The anchor's dimensions allow for upright or flat storage depending on your boat's layout, and the included shackles and chain are small enough to be kept in a dry bag or tackle box until needed.

• Anchor measures 18.5" tall × 12" wide × 4.5" deep for compact storage
• Rope length provides plenty of scope without bulky coiling
• Chain section reduces chafe at the bow roller or cleat
• Shackles allow quick rigging to bow eye or swivel

What kinds of bottoms and conditions is this anchor best for?

The fluke design excels in soft bottoms—sand, mud, and light vegetation—where its flukes can bury and hold. For heavy weed, rock, or extremely hard clay, a different anchor style may be preferable; this kit will still perform well for casual anchoring in typical inland and nearshore conditions.

• Strong performance in sand and mud where flukes can set
• Adequate in light grass or weed beds with careful setting
• Not optimized for rocky bottoms or heavy kelp without supplementary gear
• Good choice for day anchoring, fishing stops, and calm overnight settings

Who is this for: The MarineNow Deluxe Portable Fluke Anchor Kit is aimed at owners of small powerboats, inflatables, jon boats, and tenders (roughly 10–18 ft) who want a ready-to-use, corrosion-resistant anchoring solution. It’s ideal for anglers, weekend boaters, and anyone who needs a compact kit with the right combination of fluke anchor, chain, and rope to set and hold in common nearshore and inland conditions without added customization.
