Savwinch Fixed Shank Plow Anchors

When the weather shifts and the water moves, a delta anchor is the difference between drifting and staying exactly where you planned to be. Also known as a delta anchor, this design has become a favourite for boaters who want certainty over unnecessary tech. It’s simple, dependable, and engineered to do one job exceptionally well: set fast and hold firm. They perform extremely well in sand and mud, and remain reliable in gravel and mixed seabeds.

Fixed Shank Plow Anchor Features

What makes a plow anchor different isn’t brute force; it’s geometry. The curved blade, ballasted tip, and self-righting design work together so the anchor naturally rolls into the correct position, digs in, and locks down with minimal dragging. Whether you’re anchoring in sand, mud, gravel, or mixed seabeds, the shape does the thinking for you.

Savwinch’s Fixed Shank Plow Anchors take that proven design and perfect it with premium materials. Choose:

• SS 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a clean, polished finish 
• Hot-dipped galvanised steel for rugged durability

Both deliver the same holding power; the difference is in finish, maintenance, and budget.

But anchoring isn’t just about the anchor. Your setup matters. Rope, chain, and connection hardware all impact how well your anchor sets and holds. Pairing a plow anchor with the right chain-to-rope combination improves bite, shock absorption, and stability. 

And getting your sizing right is important too. A properly matched anchor reduces strain on your gear and your vessel. That’s where a plow anchor size chart can help you choose based on boat length, displacement, and typical anchoring environments.
