Fountain Replacent Anchor
 

My clevis pin came loose and I lost my factory ss anchor this weekend. Does anyone know where to get a replacement that fits in my Lightnings anchor locker?

Does anyone have one they'd like to part with?

That sucks....Fountain thought very highly of that SS polished anchor, if you can find one, some one will want quite a bit.

I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back. Fortunately I was beaching and it was only in about 6 feet of water. Thinking a little lock tite might be in order.

I put a plastic zip tie on my pin. I'm not sure how the sizes may vary between boat lengths but her are the measurements from my 29' if you wind up having to have one made. I can give you more detailed measurements if you need them.

Get a fortress anchor. Same holding power, less weight=more speed!

I have one that I used once and looks brand new. $300 plus shipping and it's yours.

GF?

I run 2 shackles on mine. You may want a Plastic color coated anchor. I love my blue one..

Safety wire that clevis pin.

mcprod... is that what you have? It seems large for the locker. Does it fit in yours ok?

I kept a fortress in my locker. It didnt fit in the mounts but it laid in the locker ok. It was light enough that I never worried about it.

I have a 17 pound blue one,
and a 21 pound metal colored one that came w the boat. The 21 has 17" teeth and the 17 has only 14" inch teeth, They will both fit. But the 21 will hold better in the wind

My 17 pound one has the 2 bars that stick out cut off
The one that came w the boat (21 pound) has a bout 2 inches left on each side . ( B dimension ) It makes the b dimension about 15 inches

Get one then remove the length of the side bars sticking out so it lays flat in you locker. I put a throw cushion below mine because the previous owner let the anchor rub a hole in the bottom of the locker/. Hope this helps

It wouldn't take too long to mock up a larger anchor size out of wood (just a simple triangle shape) and see if it could be maneuvered around to fit in the anchor locker. I am fairly new to Fountain land and have not been next to a larger Fountain to see if the locker sizes are the same. I'll measure mine tomorrow and post the results.

My boat came with a Fortress FX-11 from the previous owner. Wiggle it in and it fits. Doesn't seem to bang around too much.

Holds well, but I added some serious chain to get it to sink faster.

I cant get the anchor in my 38's locker that I had in my 27. The door seems to be too narrow on the lightnings in that year.

Jason....let us know what you end up with so I can buy the same

Are you using the Fountain anchor holder with that anchor as well?

I had to modify my holder to use with the fortress and i had to put a small hole in the anchor to use the pin to hold the anchor.

my boat does not have a holder . just a storage locker in the front by the the light. which reminds me my latch broke at Havi last time out

Dude I have an extra, white and a tinted black dark maybe there the same size still got the sticky paper on it too. I broke mine from it not being locked down as seen in the picture. i got the materails and make them now do you want one?

Look at this "anck Whore" locker... pretty nice eh? If you look at the cover ,which is hard to find lol, you will see 2 hindges and a latch on it. My hindges are fine. just the round latch thingy is broke.
:D

Pretty nice however I thought you broke the whole hatch like my pic. You have a Robalo too?

What's a Robalo? I used to have a blonde, but now she's a brunette. :D

Could one of you guys post a pic of your anchor holder mounted in your anchor locker? I don't have a holder, but would like to fab one up.

Thanks,
