Hunter Anchors of Florida presents the newly developed and patented range of fully retrievable stainless steel and galvanized anchors, a size and type for every boat and every occasion. These anchors are hand crafted and guaranteed to hold your boat or yacht under almost any conditions. Below are some frequently asked questions by customers.
Q. What type of anchor is right for my boat?
It all depends on the type of boating you do and the type of bottom you generally anchor in.
- The Plow Anchor is for sandy and grassy bottoms and is generally an all purpose anchor. It works best on larger boats with electric winches.
- The Grappling Anchor is best for rocky bottoms. The grouper fisherman love them. Also, if you dive reefs with rocky bottoms, this would be the anchor of choice. You can remove the anchor without damaging sensitive reefs and bottoms.
- The Danforth Style Anchor is also an all purpose anchor. Bass fishermen love this style. It works well in sandy and grassy bottoms as well as rocky bottoms.
Q. What size anchor would be right for my boat?
This of course would depend on the size and weight of your boat. I would recommend you contacting us to help you determine what style and size would best fit your needs.
Q. Do you fabricate special order anchors for unusually large boats.
Absolutely, just contact us with all the necessary information and we will be happy to give you a quote.
Q. Do these anchors work well with electrical winches?
Absolutely. I’ve designed a cam at the end of the shank that rights the anchor in the proper position for seating into the pulpit. If for some reason it does not seat into your particular pulpit we can custom built a pulpit to accommodate the anchor.
Q. Being that this anchor is fabricated from stainless steel and it is a costly investment I would be afraid to lose it. What makes this anchor virtually impossible to lose?
The sliding mechanism, when used properly, will alleviate loss by allowing the anchor to be removed from the bottom backwards.
Q. Is it true that the deeper the water the heavier the anchor should be?
Absolutely. The deeper the water the stronger the currents. You want your anchor to reach the bottom as quickly as possible and engage as quickly as possible. Our anchors do just that.
Q. How do I find out more about your anchors and where to purchase one?
Easy just give us a call at (888) 315-1531 or contact us via our contact page.
