Technical specification and options

Selection and compatibility

• The 17m figure is a manufacturer range, not a universal guarantee of safe anchoring.
• Select using vessel displacement, windage, cruising area, seabed, depth, current, weather and required holding margin.
• Measure the complete anchor against the bow roller, pulpit, stem, locker and windlass before purchase.
• Chain, rope, shackles, swivels and windlass must all be correctly sized and compatible.
• Performance varies by seabed; no single anchor is best for every bottom.

Installation, operation and package

• Use a correctly rated galvanized shackle/connector and secure the pin against loosening.
• Inspect galvanizing, shank, fluke and connection after impact or heavy weather.
• Deploy sufficient scope for depth and conditions and confirm the anchor is set before relying on it.
• Maintain an anchor watch and carry suitable backup anchoring equipment.
• Avoid pairing galvanized anchor/chain with stainless connectors without assessing galvanic and crevice-corrosion risks.

Package contents: one Talamex DC 20kg galvanized anchor; chain, rope, shackles, swivel and bow roller are not included.
