Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
This is a premium quality aftermarket replacement part, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for fitment and marine durability.
How do I know if it is compatible?
We recommend checking the boat weight and length. A 5kg Danforth is typically rated for boats up to 6 meters (20 feet) in fair weather conditions.
Can this anchor be used on rocky bottoms?
While versatile, Danforth anchors are specifically designed for sand and mud. They may struggle to set in heavy rock or thick kelp/weed where a Grapnel or Plow anchor might be more effective.
Note: Please ensure you use a suitable length of anchor chain (typically 3-5 meters) to ensure the anchor lies flat and sets correctly. Available at 4boats.co.uk.
