Default Lost Fountain Anchor

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement anchor that fits in the anchor holder on a 06 38' Lightning?

Fountain parts department. Or measure the with of the bottom brace ,then from the bottom brace to the top brace and get one at west marine thats close. You can hacksaw the bar on the anchor to fit and drill a new hole for the top pin or move the top brace.

Default Fountain replacement anchor

I replaced my anchor on my 38SC. The company that made mine is Greenfield Products and the model is the color coated slip ring fluke anchor in a size appropriate for the weight of the boat - the 17 lb model I think. Don't use an aluminum Fortress anchor since it won't hold when the wind kicks up. I do keep a small Fortress anchor for light wind days and as a stern anchor.You should definitely call Fountain since the boat is practically new and they will tell you the model #.I ordered mine from one of the main suppliers but West Marine did not carry this size so Maybe Boaters world had it. Also it was not costly maybe 60-70$.

This is the lost anchor that we are looking for. Cash reward if found. We do know that it is stuck on the bottom of Table Rock Lake in the Cow Creek cove.

Try a Fortress you can buy a new one for $150 from WM they are so light and hold well with 6' of rubber coated chain I have never dragged my Fortress with my 35 and we have been in the river with a strong current

if you are still looking for a fountain anchor, I have a brand new one from my 42 that has never been wet.
