The 2Kg Galvanised Jet Claw Anchor performs best on sand, mud, and gravel seabeds. Its design helps it dig in effectively in these conditions.
A general guideline is a scope ratio of 5:1 to 7:1 (rode length to water depth), meaning for every 1 meter of depth, you should deploy 5 to 7 meters of rode. This may need to be increased in rougher conditions.
The 2kg weight is generally suitable for smaller vessels like dinghies, kayaks, or small fishing boats. For larger boats, a heavier anchor from the SecureFix Direct range (e.g., 5kg or 15kg) would be more appropriate.
The hot-dipped galvanising process applies a thick, durable layer of zinc to the steel anchor. This layer acts as a sacrificial barrier, corroding instead of the steel, thus providing excellent protection against rust and saltwater damage.
Yes, the hot-dipped galvanised finish is designed for marine environments and provides excellent corrosion resistance in both saltwater and freshwater.
The dimensions are approximately: Height - 176mm, Length - 341mm, Width - 188mm, with an attachment hole of 21mm x 9mm.
Ensure you are using adequate scope (ratio of rode length to depth). Check that the seabed is suitable (avoid solid rock or heavy weed). Ensure the anchor's flukes are not obstructed.
Increase the scope. If the issue persists, the seabed may not be providing sufficient grip for this anchor's weight, or conditions may be too severe for a 2kg anchor. Consider a larger anchor.
Minor surface rust on galvanised coating can usually be removed with a wire brush. For more significant damage, clean the area and apply a cold galvanising spray to restore protection.
Setup:
To set up the SecureFix Direct 2Kg Galvanised Jet Claw Anchor, attach your anchor rode (chain and/or rope) to the 21mm x 9mm attachment hole using a suitable shackle or spliced eye. Ensure the connection is secure and rated for marine use.
Compatibility:
This anchor is compatible with most standard anchor windlasses and anchor rollers designed for anchors of this size and type. It is generally suitable for a variety of seabed types, including sand, mud, and gravel, though performance may vary. It is recommended for use on smaller vessels or as a secondary anchor on larger boats.
Care:
After each use, rinse the anchor thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Inspect the galvanised coating periodically for any chips, deep scratches, or signs of excessive wear. Minor scuffs are normal, but significant damage to the galvanising could expose the base metal to corrosion. Store the anchor in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use. If rust spots appear on the galvanised surface, they can often be treated with a wire brush and a cold galvanising spray to maintain protection.
