Extreme Max3006.6652 BoatTector Zinc-Plated Cube Anchor (Box Style) - 19 lbs.

This anchor will hold you in high winds all day long. Almost hard to get off of the lake floor!

Great anchor held my 21 foot plus large pontoon 20+ people on windy day.

The media could not be loaded. I have looked at this anchor system for a couple years now. There are several manufacturers with varying prices but I settled on this system because of the lower than average price. I camp a lot and we take our 20' pontoon with us. During summers it's not uncommon to get fast moving thunderstorms and microburst while on the lake. There is also a tremendous about of boat traffic during the day which causes horrible waves that beat the boat against the shore.In the video above is my pontoon during a fast moving thunderstorm. This was the first true test of the system.Previously I had a 50lb dumbell tied to anchor chain and rope. The weight would hold the boat just fine but in a storm or heavy wave situation the boat would drag the anchor slightly. I have had sand anchors, drift anchors, mushroom anchors d homemade anchors. This is byfar the best anchor I have had.At this campsite the water is about 12"deep when you step off land and drops significantly as you go out with a mix of rocks, some sand but mostly fine silt. This area is on a point and the land is erosion protected by rocks and wrapped fencing so you have to make sure the anchor hold you off about 2' or your boat will be destroyed by waves pushing it I to the rocks.You can see in the video that this anchor held strong. I would give 6 stars if it was an option. Folds up for easy storage and is very easy to set up and set the anchor point. It really doesn't matter how you throw off the boat because it will correct itself and dig in quickly. Removing the anchor is easy as well.If you have a pontoon or any kind of boat that's heavy and needs a better anchor system do yourself a favor and buy this system. You will not regret it.

great quality

So I will certainly update this review after I have used the anchor but I am extremely happy with what I see so far. It just arrived 5 minutes ago, I paid $85 shipped which is what it is listed for currently on Amazon. The hardware for mounting the bar to the anchor is the new (nut & bolt) updated version which is very solid. I didn’t have to modify anything. Also the brace that locks it open fits very tightly into the hole with no play so I have great confidence it will stay together when deployed. I weighed it on my house scale and it is 21lbs, not 19lbs..I thought that was a good thing, a little extra weight never hurts with an anchor. I can’t believe how much cheaper it is vs the other brand, I have the other brands shore anchor and I love it, they are good brand..but Extreme Max is SO much better priced for the same stuff!! Also, since it folds flat it’s even easier to stow under my bow seat than my old 20lb mushroom anchor (see pics).**edit after 3 boat days**This thing is a game changer! It sets so easy compared to my old anchor. We’ve used it at a sand bar where it’s about 2-3’ of water where we usually anchor and literally 10’ or so of anchor line off the bow is all I need out and it sets like a rock! The last 2 days out it was very busy and very windy..we never dragged anchor once while watching all of the danforth & mushroom anchors struggle to stay put. So far still highly recommended! I will keep updated about how it holds up over time.**edit after owning for 9 months - 6/14/2021**Zero corrosion on any of the hardware, the anchor itself is galvanized so obviously it won’t corrode...still as good as when purchased. Still highly recommended. 👍

It's been a year since purchase and I have used this box anchor with my 19' Key West many times. I live in Charleston SC and most of my boating is near shore or in the rivers near the harbor. The anchor works great and holds the boat in the changing tides with no problems. My only 'knocks' would be with setup and storage. You will want a rubber matt or other protection when setting the spring loaded hook to form the anchor. The folded anchor is also too big for the anchor storage locker on my boat. Small problems to have but worth pointing out just the same. I am happy with my purchase.

I have a 19 foot Yamaha. The cheap anchor that came with it (a DAN) is worthless. Just drags along the bottom in the sandbar. Never sets even if I get out and push it into the sand. With softer bottoms it sets, but on a windy day, it will just drag.This anchor is awesome, my boat doesn't move an inch in the sandbar or softer bottoms. Should have bought this one first instead of several others trying to find one that could hold my boat in any conditions.

Arrived quickly, bought this for pontoon boat since the other style anchors just didn’t hold the boat properly and was having to reset multiple times. Love how it collapses and fits perfectly in boat anchor box. Added a 6’ chain and then the 100’ rope and believe it will get the job done perfectly.
