[magster65]

NOT SURE WHAT ANCHOR I HAVE...FOR MY 310:huh:
THERE SITE SAYS PLOW ANCHOR 22 LBS IS WHATS MY SIZE....
Stainless Steel Hinged Plow Anchor
EVEN IF I WERE TO ORDER ONE, NOT SURE WHAT'S ON THAT BOAT OF MINE..

Hard to tell exactly with pictures that bad but if I think it looks most like a spade anchor...

-------------------------------------------------

If it's not a spade it's a Delta style unit...

 

[Air O'Nautical]

Can you use a polished stainless anchor, as an anchor?
I mean will it still look good or get all scratched up with normal use??

The 'plow' designation indicates a type of anchor. The Delta style (triangular wedge) and the CQR style (hinged triangular wedge) qualify as plow anchors. I didn't know a spade was a plow style anchor as well. They do work by the same principle though.
Although their ratings are quite good, they don't appear to be particularly popular. The other plows are popular though. If you can't find a stainless spade, see if you can borrow a neighbors plow style unit to see if it fits your roller before you order one. Your bow roller looks (to me) like the hinged plow would fit best.
Cheers

I used mine all last season..and it still looks great. I clean it up and hit it with a coat of polish when I polish the boat.

 

[Groucho]

Yup...mine looks new still. Good Chrome lasts.

 

[billnpat]

this is what my bow roller looks like. The hinge plow didn't sit in it very well but the delta sits just right. It was a delta that came original on it.

looking at your im sure now that mine is a delta also....Is yours the 22lbs???

 

[The Bill Collector]

Bling bling.....

 

[HUMPH]

I would like to get a nice shiney 35lb plow to put on the next boat. :grin:

 

[jim1744]

I looked into plating my galvanized anchor, I visited two chroming facilities. The cost and technical problems associated with the process was more than a new anchor.

Yeah... much better pics. You have a Delta style plow anchor with an arched shank... I've never seen one of them before. :huh:
The link you posted is the anchor that I just got in the summer ($189 on ebay from marinepartdepot).
The forward hoop on your roller might be in the way. The hoop on mine sits sits square to the roller forward and yours sits vertical.
If it were me, before you order one, try one of your neighbors Delta plows first. There's probably lots of them around you. You may have to 'tweak' your roller.
Getting it right is a bit of a hassle maybe but it's worth it.
Cheers :smt001

I ordered already the

I think the hoop will be ok....being that it's vertical would give it more room over the arch shank looks like to me.......

They have a 365 day return policy if you send it back the way it came, also I could not resist the FREE shipping with expired last night the 14th:thumbsup:

Just so everyone knows, free shipping there ends everyday. It's their little hook. Go there now and you'll see it ends today. It's kind of like the free beer tomorrow sign, except free shipping never ends. It just presents a sense of urgency to those not visting the site frequently.
