No More Stuck Anchors!

A lost or stuck anchor and rode can be costly to replace, not to mention a ruined day of boating. But most importantly, it can leave you, your passengers and your boat vulnerable in the open water. Anchor Saver is a new, unique system for anchor retrieval.


 Great Lake boaters will love the ease and security which Anchor Saver provides!

Anchor Saver is available in various sizes based on your boat's size and anchor type. Please call Captain Ray to discuss your needs, 9am to 7pm central time, at  (847) 731-8218, or email him atray@harbormarine.biz

How it Works

Anchor Saver does not interfere with your anchor's normal use. Only you can put Anchor Saver into action. The key to the Anchor Saver Release System is the concept of “Indirect Anchor Pressure” which works to release your stuck anchor easily and quickly. When the anchor becomes lodged, simply tie the anchor rope around a cleat and drive the boat forward of the anchor. This extra pressure will shift the anchor attachment point to the Anchor Saver and snap the Anchor Saver shear bolt, allowing the anchor’s shank cable to dislodge the anchor from the bottom rather than trying to pull it out from the top.


Anchor Saver is available in a variety of sizes to fit most anchors. Please see the video below and then contact Captain Ray!
