Boomer FAQ

What is unique about the Boomer Anchor?
The Boomer Anchor has a unique collapsing mechanism that ensures you will never lose another anchor. If your anchor gets snagged or stuck,  with added pressure from the boat motor, the engineered shear pin release allows the anchor to collapse creating stress-free retrieval. The breakaway range is between 60 kgs for smaller boats up to 250 kgs and more for larger boats in rougher conditions. This is more than adequate for the vast majority of fishing scenarios for boats from 3 to 9 metres long.

Does the Boomer Anchor work on all Australian sea beds?
This anchor holds your boat safely in all surfaces. Its patented "Ripper Leg" prongs hold like no other anchor.

Will the anchor give way while I'm anchored up?
No,- This can be determined by careful pin selection, unless you are anchoring in extreme conditions outside what would be called "normal.

The shear pins have been subjected to many workshop breakout tests and years of practical tests to determine that calibrated sweet spot that allows the pin to hold a boat in serious run or breezy conditions and not let go. However, if it becomes stuck you can add motor power past that sweet spot and collapse and retrieve your anchor. Over time and usage, these pins may become fatigued and may let go prematurely under less pressure than normal. We recommend you stay vigilant on the water and perform safety checks on all your boating equipment including your anchor pins and shackles.

What if I run out of pins?
The Starter Pack comes with a good supply of pins. We also stock the correct sized pins for your convenience. The simple zinc coated pins/bolts can be found in most hardware stores. If you buy a bulk order and place them in your boat, you will virtually have a lifetime supply.

Why use an anchor? I prefer a trolling motor with spot lock as my anchor.
An anchor is a mandatory item of safety equipment on a boat. A boat owner must have one regardless of their desire to use an electric motor. Trolling motors are a great addition to a fishing boat, we agree. They are great when they are working, however they are frustrating and expensive, when things go wrong. For example, google "why isn't my spot lock working?" and you will find countless threads of people with problems. By the time a boat owner has paid for the motor, batteries, charger and the conversion to suit his or her boat, it can add up to over 10 times the cost of 1 Boomer Anchor which you will need as your safety backup anyway.>

Boomer Anchors are ideal for a wide range of boats, from small recreational craft to larger fishing vessels. Their design emphasizes easy retrieval and solid holding in tough conditions.
