MUS-LEX 5.9 kg Galvanized Fluke Anchor Kit with 5/16" x 30.5 m Rope — Hot-Dip Galvanized, Chain & Shackle

The MUS-LEX 13 lb galvanized fluke anchor kit is a ready-to-use anchoring set that includes a 13 lb Danforth-style anchor, 5 ft chain, 100 ft rope and a 5/16" shackle for dependable holding in sand and mud.

This compact kit bundles corrosion-resistant hardware and a long nylon rode so you can anchor small sailboats and powerboats with confidence. Built from hot-dip galvanized steel, the anchor and chain resist rust, while the included rope and shackle let you assemble a safe anchor system right away. The Danforth (fluke) profile offers high holding power in soft bottoms and the kit’s recovery hole speeds retrieval when it’s time to weigh anchor.

How does the MUS-LEX fluke anchor perform in sandy or muddy bottoms?

The fluke-style shape is designed to bury itself quickly in soft substrates, delivering strong lateral holding for small vessels. The included short length of chain adds weight at the anchor line, helping the anchor set and maintain a low angle to the seabed.

• Sharp, wide flukes that penetrate sand and mud for increased grip
• 5 ft galvanized chain to keep the rode angled and aid set-up
• 13 lb weight suited for 20–32 ft boats in typical sheltered water conditions

What materials and corrosion protection are used?

Key metal components are hot-dip galvanized to extend service life in salt and freshwater environments. Galvanizing protects against surface rust and slows corrosion, keeping the anchor and chain reliable season after season.

• Hot-dip galvanized anchor and chain for enhanced rust resistance
• Durable synthetic rope that resists abrasion and UV degradation
• Galvanized shackle for a secure connection between chain and rope

How easy is this kit to install and retrieve on board?

The set arrives with everything you need to build a working rode: anchor, chain section, rope and a properly sized shackle. A pre-drilled recovery hole in the anchor simplifies hooking and lifting, while the short chain and long rope combination makes deployment and retrieval practical from most bow setups.

• Complete kit requires minimal assembly—attach chain to shackle and rope
• Pre-drilled recovery hole speeds reboarding and reduces fuss when hauling
• 100 ft of 5/16" rope gives ample scope for most shallow anchoring situations

Is this anchor kit right for my boat size and type?

The 13 lb MUS-LEX fluke anchor is targeted at small vessels and performs best on boats roughly 20 to 32 feet long. It works with sailboats and motorboats in lakes, rivers and sheltered coastal areas where sand or mud make up the bottom.

• Recommended for 20–32 ft boats in protected waters
• Suitable for small sailboats, runabouts, cuddy cabins and fishing boats
• Not intended as a primary solution for very rocky bottoms or large, open-ocean conditions

Who is this for: The MUS-LEX 13 lb galvanized fluke anchor kit is aimed at recreational boaters who want an all-in-one anchoring package—light enough to manage single-handedly, yet robust enough to hold in soft bottom conditions. It's a practical choice for weekend sailors, anglers, and small-boat owners who need corrosion-resistant hardware and a long rode without sourcing parts separately. If you want a straightforward, service-ready anchor system that balances ease of use with dependable holding on sand and mud, this kit provides the components to get anchored quickly and securely.
