How to Choose a Boat Anchor for Your Bottom and Boat The right anchor depends on two things: what the bottom is made of and how long your boat is. For sand or mud in typical lake and bay conditions, a galvanized fluke anchor is a common choice, and a boat anchor kit pairs one with chain, shackles and rope sized to go together. Rivers, rocks, gravel and debris filled bottoms can snag or skip a fluke. A river anchor with a mushroom and fluke shape is built for those spots. A folding box anchor digs into mud or rock from either direction and folds flat for storage when space is tight. Each anchor page lists weight options by boat length, so check your length before you choose. For beach days, a sand anchor spike stakes the boat on shore without a mallet. Finish the setup with anchor chain to help the anchor set, anchor rope long enough for your usual depth, a swivel to keep the line from twisting and stainless shackles to connect it all.
