Fortress Guardian G-11 Original Replacement Shank

The Fortress Guardian G-11 Original Replacement Shank is the factory shank for the Guardian G-11 anchor.

Guardian is the value line alongside the main Fortress range, using the same aluminum construction and take-apart design at a lower price. The parts are not shared between the two lines, so a Guardian shank fits a Guardian anchor only, whatever the size similarity suggests.

The shank takes the entire load when an anchor sets, and it is the part that bends if a boat swings hard against a fluke caught under rock. Being able to replace it rather than the whole anchor is the practical advantage of a bolt-together design over a welded one. Explore more anchor accessories.
