It is a fortress. I'll rate it as a five if you take care of that. * There are eight small bolts and nuts to install. There are almost no ways to move them into place since they fit so tightly. I'm worse now. There is a slot in the heads of the bolts. I think it would be much easier if they were simply Philips heads. This is a great product, but I recommend you replace the bolts with Phillips heads before you begin.
This is enough to deter me from purchasing.
A place where we can safely store our Chaparral 27 feet. There is almost no chain attached to this thing so you could toss it out into the water 100 feet if it wasn't so lightweight. We rolled it multiple times in heavy wind conditions (20+ knots) and it did not move. It is great to watch everyone drift away from the hot spots and keep their distance. If you're looking to succeed, you're going to need ten feet of chain and five times the depth of the water in nylon rope. The number of feet you need to reach the anchor if the water is 20 feet deep is 100 feet.
It was my first time using the anchor and it was a sand bottom the Fortress fixed it well There were a few things that 7 got stuck on. After the anchor was lowered, it was all bent up. According to the advertising, this anchor is The prediction was wrong, as it turned out. The mud palm on the right is bent and the palm on the left is curled up There was a bend in one of the flukes. It seems like one of the problems is that the point where the flukes enters the stock is quite weak, combined with clip sets that are fairly This is the point at which most anchors are welded. The disappointment is not just total, but I am also The cost was $159, I am sorry to say. I would like to pay 99 for this anchor and/or chain There's nothing good about it. As I attempted to attach a few pictures, it asked for access to my camera & MP3 player A photo. I have all the share settings set, but still it won't let me attach the pictures.
This is not an easy kit to assemble, unless you have Perhaps the mud palms could be attached to the crown or something more convenient could be designed. The only rope and chain it has is the hook, so there will be an additional charge of $40-$50 It costs $50 to set up a decent 100' rig. As I assumed these were included in the description, it is a bit misleading. The boat will be located on a 25' pontoon anchoring primarily in sand and mud. To use the center stock as usual, be sure to select the right hole from the center stock. It is unclear why they think disassembling and reassembling this for storage would be easy. Or why you would ever need to do it in the first place.
Although I found it relatively straightforward to do, it was still a bit challenging. I love the look of this anchor. It is so light, and I already love how it is. I have not yet had the chance to use it, but I already like how Putting together the anchor was easy thanks to the instructions that came with it. As well as the box has a Quality Control card, which verifies that all parts are in it. My expectation is that I will use it soon. As well as looking well made, the anchor is sturdy.
Due to the fact that I only have girls, I "pay". Anchors of this quality are indispensable. My girls are all girls so I am willing to pay the lighter weight as they are easier A "generic" option that was less expensive would be appreciated. I think there's a good reason why there are no generics. There is no doubt that aluminum is expensive.
If you have never owned one before, it's hard to believe what a difference it makes. Whenever I boat in the Florida Keys, I anchor in water that varies in depth from 10 feet to 200 feet. Ill-advised investments turn out to be worthwhile, especially when you get it. My first purchase of Fortress was over 20 years ago, and I have never looked back. Not one of them has ever been bent or messed up.
In my case, I put this anchor in the sand and the boat stayed right where I wanted it. This baby couldn't be ripped from the earth by hurricane force winds. We have it on our 20 ft Mako, and it is easy to handle even for the kids and wife.
