Fixed Shank Plow Anchors
When the weather shifts and the water moves, a delta anchor is the difference between drifting and staying exactly where you planned to be. Also known as a delta anchor, this design has become a favourite for boaters who want certainty over unnecessary tech. It’s simple, dependable, and engineered to do one job exceptionally well: set fast and hold firm.
Fixed Shank Plow Anchor Features
What makes a plow anchor different isn’t brute force; it’s geometry. The curved blade, ballasted tip, and self-righting design work together so the anchor naturally rolls into the correct position, digs in, and locks down with minimal dragging. Whether you’re anchoring in sand, mud, gravel, or mixed seabeds, the shape does the thinking for you.
Savwinch’s Fixed Shank Plow Anchors take that proven design and perfect it with premium materials. Choose:
- SS 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a clean, polished finish
- Hot-dipped galvanised steel for rugged durability
Both deliver the same holding power; the difference is in finish, maintenance, and budget.
But anchoring isn’t just about the anchor. Your setup matters. Rope, chain, and connection hardware all impact how well your anchor sets and holds. Pairing a plow anchor with the right chain-to-rope combination improves bite, shock absorption, and stability.
And getting your sizing right is important too. A properly matched anchor reduces strain on your gear and your vessel. That’s where a plow anchor size chart can help you choose based on boat length, displacement, and typical anchoring environments.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a plow anchor and a delta anchor?
They’re essentially the same style. “Delta anchor” refers to the modern plow-shaped design with self-righting geometry and fast-setting performance.
What seabeds are plow anchors best for?
They perform extremely well in sand and mud, and remain reliable in gravel and mixed seabeds.
How do I choose the right size plow anchor?
Use a plow anchor size chart based on your boat length, weight, and typical anchoring conditions. Bigger boats and harsher environments require heavier anchors.
Is stainless steel or galvanised better?
Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, while galvanised steel offers durability. Performance is the same; the choice is practical, not functional.
What if I want a slider anchor?
Consider one of our Savwinch Slider Anchors. Built on the same proven fixed plow design, the slider anchor features a sliding ring that runs through the shaft. THis allows the anchor to change its pull angle under load, improving release while maintaining strong holding power.
