BOOMER ALL TERRAIN ANCHOR - 3.5 to 9m boats

An anchor is a mandatory item of safety equipment on a boat. A boat owner must have one regardless of their desire to use an electric motor. Trolling motors are a great addition to a fishing boat, we agree. They are great when they are working, however they are frustrating and expensive, when things go wrong. For example, google "why isn't my spot lock working?" and you will find countless threads of people with problems. By the time a boat owner has paid for the motor, batteries, charger and the conversion to suit his or her boat, it can add up to over 10 times the cost of 1 Boomer Anchor which you will need as your safety backup anyway.

No,- This can be determined by careful pin selection, unless you are anchoring in extreme conditions outside what would be called "normal" .

The shear pins have been subjected to many workshop breakout tests and years of practical tests to determine that calibrated sweet spot that allows the pin to hold a boat in serious run or breezy conditions and not let go. However, if it becomes stuck you can add motor power past that sweet spot and collapse and retrieve your anchor. Over time and usage, these pins may become fatigued and may let go prematurely under less pressure than normal. We recommend you stay vigilant on the water and perform safety checks on all your boating equipment including your anchor pins and shackles.

A Grapnel anchor is a good option for reef & rocks.

Plough and Danforth sand anchors are a good option for sand and mud.

However, most grapnel anchors are useless in sand and mud. and plough and sand anchors get jammed and stuck in reef and rocks. Many are lost because their slide release didn't release!

The Boomer All Terrain Anchor is a combination of both good features. It works in all surfaces. Its patented "Ripper Leg" prongs hold like no other anchor.

If it does get stuck, add pressure with your boat motor. The patented shear pin release allows the anchor to collapse creating stress-free retrieval. The breakaway range is between 60 kgs for smaller boats up to 250 kgs and more for larger boats in rougher conditions.

It works on boats from 3.5 to 9 metres long.
