SandShark Premium Fluke Anchor-Retractable Shaft for Easy Storage-Aluminum Pontoon Boat Anchor for Boats to 30 ft-Under 5lbs. Must Have Sand Anchor for Boat, Boat Anchor Kit, Pontoon Boat Accessories

I have a 21’ Sea-Doo Switch Pontoon. The Sea-Doo version of this style anchor is $280, which is insane. I bought this anchor as an alternative and have loved it. I’m currently on a 6000 mile trek around the Great Loop and have used this anchor daily for 2 weeks now in a variety of bottom and weather conditions. Assembly: pretty straightforward and easy. The parts do move around in 3 dimensions so take your time lining them up. The one part I was a little iffy on was the very small screw that holds the cross rod in place. I was worried about it being sufficiently robust and also working its way loose. I used Loctite to secure it and so far no issues. Design: I really like the way the main shaft slides up into the housing for compact storage. The serrated edges of the anchor itself are also nice and seem to be effective. Quality: production quality is pretty good. They warn you about possible sharp edges but mine had none. Effectiveness: The anchor is deliberately light weight - I think 5 lbs vs the 8 lb Sea-Doo version. I added 8’ of 316 stainless chain (4’ each of 5/16 and 1/4) and 150’ of 3/8” nylon anchor rope. Using this setup, I have held in 20 knot winds thus far. Issues: the only issue I have had is that due to the sliding shaft design, you have to make sure you clean out any mud or other debris. I didn’t do this once and the anchor did not properly deploy and started to drag. It was an easy fix - just stand on the cross bar and yank on the chain to pop free. Very pleased with this purchase. You can buy chain and rope cheap, so the all-in cost is much less than a Sea-Doo version. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an anchor for their Switch or for any PWC or lightweight boat.

This is the best anchor I have ever owned! It’s very lightweight, it retracts and extends, digs into the sand wonderfully. I have two boats. They hold the boats very well. I purchased four of them and I could not be happier! Very easy to put together. I recommend this anchor it is awesome!

Very convenient to store and use. It worked great as a stern anchor at the beach.

Works great, lightweight

Reliable and Sturdy—Great for Any Boater! I recently purchased the Sand Shark Boat Anchor, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations. The build quality is excellent, with durable materials that hold up well even in rough conditions. One of the best features is its lightweight yet strong design, making it easy to store and transport without sacrificing performance. The screw-in mechanism is the best!!! Overall, I highly recommend the Sand Shark Anchor for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use, and well-made anchor for their boat or jet ski. Would definitely buy the mini fluke for my jetski!!!
