BeneLabel 17" 26" 36" Sand Anchor for Boat Screw in Boat Anchor for Shallow Water, Stainless Steel Boat Beach Anchor for Sandbar, TET Ski Anchor, Kayak Anchor, Pontoon Boat

Was wanting something compact and easy to use. This fit that perfectly. The size and hold of it are great! Just screw it into the sand and tie up and the boat doesn’t move. Works great for my 20’ CC boat!

Worth the money

Works well, great value

Works great!

I don't use this to anchor a boat. Instead I keep it my truck with a hand crank winch attached to a hitch insert. I anticipate traveling to remote areas where I may need a way to winch myself out of trouble. With this cork screw pole, I can have something for the winch to pull on, assuming I can get it in the ground to 2ft or more. Haven't tested it out yet, but don't see a problem unless the ground is too hard or frozen. The price of 46 USD seems reasonable to me. I would order this again.

I've tested this sand anchor and it's very well made and also works very well. The anchor itself is indeed made of good quality 304 stainless because a magnet will just barely attract it (the higher the quality of Stainless Steel, the less magnetic it will be). And the welds are indeed excellently done. The handle itself appears to be chromed mild steel, which is okay as long as the chrome isn't scratched. If it does get scratched it's best to put a dab of paint over it so it doesn't rust.In use the anchor is easy to screw into the dirt or sand, and it holds very well when screwed far enough for the rope connection to be located close to the ground. I would highly encourage anyone who purchases a sand anchor to get only the length needed to get a good hold when screwed all the way in because it's best hold will be when the rope attachment is very close to the ground. I ordered the 17" version and screwed it in as far as the rope connection point, then I pulled from the same angle as my boat as hard as I could and it stayed perfectly put.We live and travel 100% of the time on our boat and have walked on sand beaches from the upper Long Island Sound area to the Southern Bahamas Islands and all around the Gulf Coast... and up most of the navigable rivers along the way. This 17" anchor is plenty long to hold our 13' Boston Whaler in any sand I've ever walked on. My experience tells me it's also long enough to confidently anchor larger boats to perhaps 24'-28'. I think the longest I would go is the 24" model if I were anchoring a 30' or larger boat.The problem with a longer sand anchor is that you really must screw the entire length into the ground so that the rope attachment is at the ground level. For example, If you purchase a 36" anchor and only screw it in 12" you will most certainly be able to tip the anchor over and pull it out of the sand because the rope is attached 24" above the ground which gives you a lot of leverage. I wouldn't even trust the 36" anchor if the rope were still 12" above the ground. If you want to make sure the vessel is going to stay in place while you go for a walk or take your eyes off of it for any length of time, no matter what length sand anchor you buy, make sure you screw the anchor all the way in so the rope attachment is at ground level.all my best,dr
