SandShark Premium Fluke Anchor-Retractable Shaft Easy Storage-Aluminum Pontoon Boat Anchor, Jet Ski Anchor. Boats<30 ft. Sand Anchor for Boat, Boat Anchor.

I have a 21’ Sea-Doo Switch Pontoon. The Sea-Doo version of this style anchor is $280, which is insane. I bought this anchor as an alternative and have loved it. I’m currently on a 6000 mile trek around the Great Loop and have used this anchor daily for 2 weeks now in a variety of bottom and weather conditions.Assembly: pretty straightforward and easy. The parts do move around in 3 dimensions so take your time lining them up. The one part I was a little iffy on was the very small screw that holds the cross rod in place. I was worried about it being sufficiently robust and also working its way loose. I used Loctite to secure it and so far no issues.Design: I really like the way the main shaft slides up into the housing for compact storage. The serrated edges of the anchor itself are also nice and seem to be effective.Quality: production quality is pretty good. They warn you about possible sharp edges but mine had none.Effectiveness: The anchor is deliberately light weight - I think 5 lbs vs the 8 lb Sea-Doo version. I added 8’ of 316 stainless chain (4’ each of 5/16 and 1/4) and 150’ of 3/8” nylon anchor rope. Using this setup, I have held in 20 knot winds thus far.Issues: the only issue I have had is that due to the sliding shaft design, you have to make sure you clean out any mud or other debris. I didn’t do this once and the anchor did not properly deploy and started to drag. It was an easy fix - just stand on the cross bar and yank on the chain to pop free.Very pleased with this purchase. You can buy chain and rope cheap, so the all-in cost is much less than a Sea-Doo version. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an anchor for their Switch or for any PWC or lightweight boat.

I recently picked up this mini fluke anchor for my jet ski, and it’s been an excellent addition. Compact, lightweight, and easy to store, but it still holds strong even in moderate currents. Whether I’m stopping at a sandbar or anchoring near shore, it keeps my jet ski secure without any hassle. Great build quality and definitely worth the purchase—highly recommend for any PWC owner!

Reliable and Sturdy—Great for Any Boater!I recently purchased the Sand Shark Boat Anchor, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations. The build quality is excellent, with durable materials that hold up well even in rough conditions.One of the best features is its lightweight yet strong design, making it easy to store and transport without sacrificing performance. The screw-in mechanism is the best!!! Overall, I highly recommend the Sand Shark Anchor for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use, and well-made anchor for their boat or jet ski.Would definitely buy the mini fluke for my jetski!!!

This is going to be a PERFECT addition to my PWC anchor setup this season. I have the sand shark screw in ones, but this will be great for those deeper situations! Even comes with a nice line. A++ Quality too!!Oh, it's nice and small and comes in a nice bag to store it!

My anchor came in very fast and the anchor is by far one of the best anchors I’ve owned. It’s made of quality products that help with the weight of the anchor being light while not giving up durability to keep my MasterCraft in place even in windy conditions.

Owned and used this anchor for 1 year and it did work good and I liked the retractable shank! Worked well. HOWEVER, the boating season is over where I live and I was just doing some anchor inspection and maintenance and to my surprise found that the roll pill was about to fall out. This is not good because if you understand how this anchor works its absolutely imperative that the roll pin does not fail. My roll pin was loose in the hole and if it had fallen out we would lost the lower end of the anchor and be drifting....this is a design flaw 100%. I thought I would just replace the roll pin with a small stainless steel bolt BUT the head and the nut creates issues with the flukes of the anchor actually being able to function and flop from side to side...a no go!!!! I am really disappointed in this anchor and IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE I WOULD SUGGEST YOU INSPECT THE ROLL PIN BEFORE ITS TO LATE! THIS IS A BOATING SAFETY ISSUE! Going back to my high performance aluminum Fortress! I would like a refund BUT I bet the Mfg will ignore this serious safety review!!!???And one last point, file off the shape edges, this anchor will cut you and beat up your anchor locker...a simple manufacturing detail...dam! Im about to design and build my own anchor and do it right!

The product in concept is great, light weight anodized aluminum so should hold up well in brackish water. Quality leaves a little to be desired for the price tag, I chose to buy one of the more expensive products available as it will be tasked with holding a valuable wave runner.On opening the product I was disappointed to discover that the whole that was machined in the product for the retaining pin appears to have been machined incorrectly and then modified to suit leaving an elongated hole and some sharp aluminum burs on the edges of the modified hole. I was also disappointed that there was no secondary hole to store the retaining pin when the anchor is extended, as now I have a pin that is likely to get lost / dropped in the water. The manufacturer should modify the design to include a second hole for putting the pin in when the anchor is extended as well as provide some sort of fastening / cord that attaches the pin to the anchor so it is not lost if dropped.

Easy to put together and absolutely tough as nails!! Holds our 18’ sea-doo switch fish like no other!
