Description
The Airhead Complete Grapnel Anchor System is a versatile and reliable anchor system that is perfect for small boats, sailboats, personal watercraft, inflatable boats, canoes, and float tubes. With its 3-1/3 pound 4-fluke folding anchor, it can securely hold in mud, sand, gravel, and rock. The anchor is coated to protect finishes, ensuring its durability.
When it comes to storage, this anchor system is designed with convenience in mind. The durable nylon storage case is padded for added protection and to dampen any noise while the anchor is stowed. It fits perfectly under most boat seats, in PWC storage compartments, or in PWC storage canisters. This makes it easy to take with you wherever you go.
The anchor is spliced to a 25 ft. long marine-grade rope, which includes an in-line buoy for added visibility and easy retrieval. The rope is attached to a heavy-duty stainless steel snap hook, ensuring a strong and secure connection. This anchor system is truly a complete package.
Now let's address some frequently asked questions:
Q: Could I add a longer rope and chain to this anchor?
A: You should be okay adding the chain.
Q: Would this work in the ocean with an inflatable kayak or my Hobie 16 sailboat?
A: Yes, it would work with an inflatable kayak but not with a Hobie 16 sailboat.
Q: Would this be a good anchor for a Wave Runner on the Gulf?
A: This anchor is unfortunately not suitable for a 2021 Yamaha FX Cruiser HO in the Gulf. It may not hold in even the slightest current from tide change. However, it can still be used for lake fishing.
Q: Do the prongs on the anchor fold up?
A: Yes, the prongs on the anchor fold up for easy storage and transportation.
In conclusion, the Airhead Complete Grapnel Anchor System is a reliable and convenient anchor system that is suitable for various watercraft. Its folding design, durable storage case, and high-quality rope and snap hook make it a great choice for anyone in need of a temporary mooring solution.

- Everything is brightly colored so that people can see it.
- The anchor may be recovered with the assistance of an inline buoy.

What To Consider
- It won't be easy to satisfy the scope guidelines with a line just 25 feet long.
- With consistent usage, rope may tear, mainly if it is not handled with enough care.
01Could I add a longer rope and chain to this anchor?+
You should be okay, adding the chain
02Would this work in the ocean with an inflatable kayak or my Hobie 16 sailboat?+
Kayak, yes; sailboat, no
03Would this be a good anchor for a Wave Runner on the Gulf.+
This anchor is sadly useless on a 2021 Yamaha FX Cruiser HO in the Gulf. If there is even the slightest current from tide change it just will not hold. I still keep it for lake fishing but I have replaced it with a 35lb anchor for Gulf fishing.
04Do the prongs on the anchor fold up?+
Hi,Thanks for your question. Yes, it folds up. If you have any other questions, please let us know. ThanksDivemaster Chris866-728-2293
