FX-7 Complete Anchor Kit
The FX-7 Complete Anchor Kit is perfect for boats up to 27 feet (8 meters) long. Here’s what’s included:

The FX-7 Fortress Anchor is a lightweight but powerful alternative to heavier steel anchors, replacing steel anchors that weigh between 6–9 lbs (3–4 kg). Made from a high-tensile, corrosion-resistant aluminum-magnesium alloy, this anchor is both easy to handle and incredibly strong. In U.S. Navy tests, it withstood loads more than 200 times its own weight.

Designed for compact storage, the FX-7 can be disassembled and used as a storm or spare anchor. The precision-machined flukes ensure fast penetration into most sea beds, giving you quicker and more secure settings.
