Anchor Ring Anchor Pullers

Q. What size buoy do I need to raise my anchor with the Anchor Ring?
A buoy’s lifting capacity should be higher than the weight of your anchor and the weight of your chain combined. Using a larger sized buoy is fine and will raise your anchor faster.

Q. What size chain should I use with the Anchor Ring?
Almost any chain will work in part because the Anchor Ring is 5.5” in diameter. For larger sizes of chain the heavy duty Anchor Ring may be more suitable.

Q. What kind of buoy comes with my anchor puller?
The buoys are made by Polyform. They have a limited lifetime warranty.

Q. Is the Anchor Ring as strong as similar welded rings?
The Anchor Ring is actually stronger, by design, than similar welded rings.

Q. Will the strain during anchor retrieval bend the Anchor Ring?
No, all the strain and drag is put on the buoy and actually helps raise your anchor.

Q. How do I know if I need the Anchor Ring or AnchorLift anchor puller?
The Anchor Ring is suggested to be used when you have an anchor line with at least 6 feet of chain. The AnchorLift is designed to work with an all rope anchor line.

Q. Can the Anchor Ring be used along with an anchor winch or windlass?
Not recommended. The purpose of the Anchor Ring is to do the job of a winch or windlass when they are not practical options.

Anchor Ring Disclaimer
Always anchor in accordance with Coast Guard guidelines and regulations.

• Use extreme caution when anchoring in moving water and when letting out and retrieving the anchor line.
• Always keep your anchor line free of tangles and away from the propeller.
• Do not use the Anchor Ring where the loss of property or personal safety may be at risk.

To raise your anchor with the Anchor ring:

1. Slip the Anchor Ring over the anchor line. Attach the shackle- buoy assembly. Be sure to snap the shackle through both eyes of the ring. Toss the buoy into the water allowing the ring to slide down the line.	2. Motor your boat forward at a 30º angle off of your anchor point taking care to keep the anchor line clear of the prop. Proceed forward – at roughly 5 knots – until the anchor is released from the bottom, then increase speed slight – 6 to 8 knots. Do not continue forward if the anchor does not break free.	3. The anchor line will slide through the ring as the buoy floats on the surface. Once the anchor has reached the surface, shift into neutral and pull in the slack anchor line and anchor. The anchor chain will counterbalance the anchor and hold the anchor at the surface.

The Anchor Ring was developed by Ironwood Pacific in the footsteps of the popular AnchorLift product. Fishermen looking for an easier way to raise their anchors needed something that could accommodate all chain or chain and rope combination anchor lines. Commonly used for saltwater applications the Anchor Ring is simple to use and effective at raising your anchor to the surface.

• Off shore anglers using long anchor chain and rope chain combinations like the easy to use functionality.
• Charter boat captains like the Anchor Ring because it slips over their anchor chain when they are ready to pull anchor and works to quickly bring their anchor to the surface.
• Anglers facing strong currents wanting an easier way to haul in their long anchor chain.
