How to set a screw-in sand anchor

Setting and pulling a screw-in sand anchor at the beach or sandbar.

Harborwright sells the part only — we don't install it. These are general steps; your boat and the maker's manual come first. If you're not sure, have a marine shop fit it.

Safety: Make sure it's holding before you leave the boat, and stay within VEVOR's rating (under 20 ft, up to 2,200 lb).

Steps

  1. Pick firm sand in shallow water or on the beach.
  2. Push the tip in and twist the T-handle clockwise until the spiral blade is fully buried.
  3. Take the handle off (it comes off once the anchor is set).
  4. Tie the elastic line from the anchor to a bow or stern cleat.
  5. To pull it, refit the handle and twist counter-clockwise. Rinse it with fresh water afterward.

Follow the maker's manual for your exact model first — it's linked with each part below.
