AirowMarine Delta Anchor - 316 Stainless Steel Mirror Polished (2.2-223 lbs)
Ground Tackle Hardware • Top Pick
Check PriceWaking up at 0200 to the sound of surf on a lee shore is a coward's way to lose a vessel. You’re dragging. Your hook let go because you trusted a piece of galvanized scrap metal. That’s a choice. A bad one.
Generic anchors are a liability. Galvanized coatings flake like dead skin. They pit. They bleed rust onto your clean deck. Don't even mention plastic-coated weights. Plastic is for toys, not for ground tackle. Once that coating cracks, the salt eats the core. You’re left with a paperweight when the blow hits. You need real steel. High-tensile, marine-grade gear that bites and stays buried.
Enter the AirowMarine Delta Anchor - 316 Stainless Steel Mirror Polished (2.2-223 lbs). This isn't just a shiny ornament for the bow. It is an engineered solution. It’s forged from premium 316 stainless. It won’t corrode. It won’t fail. Whether you're running a skiff or a blue-water cruiser, this is the standard.

FAQ
- Will this anchor hold securely in soft mud or loose gravel?
- Absolutely. The AirowMarine Delta Anchor features an optimized triangular geometry that acts as a stabilizing claw. This hydrodynamic design provides 30% more holding power compared to standard plow anchors, ensuring it sets instantly and stays buried even in shifting substrates.
- Is the mirror finish just for looks, or does it serve a technical purpose?
- While the mirror finish looks stunning, it is highly functional. The jewelry-grade hand-polishing creates an ultra-smooth surface that repels mud, sand, and marine growth. This makes retrieval easier and ensures the anchor self-cleans as it exits the water, protecting your bow roller from abrasive debris.
- How do I choose the correct size for my boat?
- We provide a comprehensive technical size chart (Image 4) with 9 distinct measurement vectors (A-I). For most coastal cruisers, the 10kg (22lb) model is a standard choice, but we recommend matching your vessel's displacement and windage to our weight-to-dimension table to ensure maximum safety during overnight stays.
