Anchors & Docking
Reliable anchors & docking gear to keep your vessel secure in any harbor or marina.
At The Outdoor Warehouse, we stock a complete range of boat anchors and docking equipment designed for strength, reliability, and safety. From rugged anchors and heavy-duty chains to dock lines, cleats, and fenders, our marine-grade gear keeps your vessel secure in all conditions.
How to Choose the Right Anchor
Selecting the right anchor depends on your boat size and the waters you frequent:
- Fluke (Danforth) Anchors: Lightweight and easy to stow, ideal for sandy or muddy bottoms. A popular choice for day cruisers and smaller boats.
- Plow Anchors: Known for their strong holding power in grass, weeds, and mixed seabeds. Favored by cruisers for their ability to reset when conditions change.
- Mushroom Anchors: Best for small boats or long-term mooring in calm waters. Their shape allows for gradual embedment over time.
- Grapnel Anchors: Compact and foldable, great as a secondary anchor or for kayaks, dinghies, and rocky bottoms.

- Cleats & Chocks: Heavy-duty hardware to secure lines and handle heavy loads.
- Fenders & Bumpers: Essential for preventing scratches and damage when docking in busy marinas.
Mooring Essentials
Complete your anchoring and docking setup with these must-have accessories:
- Chains & Shackles: Galvanized or stainless steel hardware to extend anchor life and reliability.
- Mooring Buoys: Clearly marked floating stations for safe and visible mooring.
- Storage Bags & Racks: Keep your anchor and lines organized for quick deployment.
