Frequently asked questions
-
How much do used anchors and ground tackle cost?
- Used anchors commonly sell for 30 to 70 percent below new, with fluke, plow, and claw anchors plus chain and rode all widely available. Since anchors rarely wear out, used ground tackle is a genuine bargain. Buying a size up as a spare is affordable on the used market.
-
What size and type of anchor do I need?
- Match the anchor style to your bottom (fluke anchors like the Danforth hold well in sand and mud, plow and claw anchors are better all-rounders including grass and rock) and the weight to your boat's length and windage. Manufacturers publish sizing charts by boat length. When in doubt, size up, since a bigger anchor holds better.
-
What should I check on used ground tackle?
- Inspect the anchor for bent flukes and heavy corrosion, check chain for rust and worn links, and examine rope rode for chafe, UV damage, and secure splices and shackles. Confirm the shackles are seized or moused so they cannot back out. Sound, correctly sized ground tackle is cheap insurance for a fraction of new.
