Maintenance and Care for Your Boat Sand Anchor

[shore]

Maintaining your boat sand anchor is relatively simple but important for longevity. After use, especially in saltwater, rinse the anchor and its rode (if not a floating line) with fresh water to remove salt and sand particles that can cause abrasion or corrosion. Inspect the anchor for any signs of cracks, dents, or wear. Check the rode for fraying or damage. Ensure any attachment points or fasteners are secure. Storing it in a dry place when not in use helps prevent deterioration, ensuring your boat sand anchor remains a dependable piece of gear.
