Fortress Anchors 571

Fortress Anchors...
Not Just Stronger. Lighter.
Every FORTRESS Anchor is precision machined from the finest marine grade hardened aluminum magnesium alloy (6061TC) to provide
the greatest holding power in a very light weight anchor for easy handling. Every test to date has proven the FORTRESS Anchors, size
for size, have more holding power than any other anchor — even those weighing twice as much! Has an exclusive adjustable shank
fluke angle which allows for maximum penetration of both firm and very soft bottoms. Use the 32° degree setting in firm bottoms and
the 45° setting for super soft mud. Every FORTRESS Anchor can be disassembled for storage or parts replacement. FORTRESS is the
only anchor ever to receive full Type Certification by the American Bureau of Shipping. FULL LIFETIME PARTS WARRANTY.
ANCHOR STOWAWAY BAG, is made from tough ballistic grade Cordura™ material. The bag closure as well as the straps, which serve
as convenient carrying handles, are high-strength, extra wide Velcro™. There are no zippers or mechanical fasteners to break or jam,
and it has internal velcro securing straps to hold the chain in place. INCLUDES: wrenches, spare fluke clip, nut and bolt, and instructions.
