Manson Boss Anchor – A True Multipurpose Anchor for All Seabeds
The Manson Boss Anchor is the ultimate safety device for boat owners who demand reliability in any anchoring situation. Designed to perform in all seabed types, this multipurpose anchor combines patented technology, robust construction, and smart design features to deliver immediate setting and superior holding power, even in the harshest conditions.
Built for bow roller conformity, the fixed shank can be configured with a single slot or sliding shackle depending on seabed type. From soft mud to rock and foul ground, the Boss Anchor ensures secure holding every time.
⚓ Dual Shank Anchoring System
The Manson Boss features dual anchoring modes in one slotted shank. Its high-tensile steel shank is strengthened and optimised using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to achieve maximum strength and durability.
Fabricated from Lloyd’s Register certified high-tensile steel (minimum 800 MPa), the streamlined shank design is perfectly suited to powerboat fairleads and bow rollers.
🔐 Patented Manson Shackle Preventor
A standout feature of the Boss Anchor is its Manson Shackle Preventor. This innovative system allows the anchor to transform between fixed and sliding shank modes for operation in any seabed:
- One slot in the shank with two docking stations
- The Preventor unscrews and docks on the alternate station in seconds
- Captive design prevents loss during use
This clever system ensures you’re equipped for both standard anchoring and foul ground retrieval.
🏋️ Raising Flaps / Trim Flaps – Faster & Deeper Setting
The Boss Anchor’s trim flaps increase holding power by forcing the flukes downward, achieving at least 28% deeper setting than comparable new-generation anchors. This guarantees a fast and secure set, even in demanding seabed conditions.
🛡 Double Reinforced Nose
Using DTLL (Double Thickness Laminate Layer) technology, the Boss Anchor concentrates weight at the nose tip. This advanced design allows the anchor to set faster and more securely, even in challenging seabeds.
💪 Fluke Design – Workhorse Strength & Holding Power
The reinforced double-skinned laminated toe forms a powerful forward section that penetrates the seabed with ease. Manson uses 150-tonne presses to create a concave fluke shape, allowing the anchor to “cup” the seabed and lock in faster than traditional designs.
🧭 Bow-Roller Compatibility
The Manson Boss Anchor is designed to fit all standard bow rollers, making it ideal for powerboats and cruisers alike.
🪽 Winglets for Immediate Setting
Sure-set winglets are engineered to roll the anchor to the correct setting angle quickly, driving the flukes into the seabed efficiently. These specially shaped wings ensure rapid alignment and holding, even in shifting conditions.
🛠 Lifetime Guarantee
Every Manson Boss Anchor comes with a lifetime guarantee against breakage under normal use — a testament to its exceptional build quality.
(Note: deformation or bending is not covered under this guarantee.)

⛓ Choosing the Correct D-Shackle
Please note: D-shackles are not included with this anchor.
To connect your rope and chain properly, choose a D-shackle one size up from your chain:
- For 6 mm chain → use an 8 mm D-shackle
- For 7 mm chain → use an 8 mm or 9 mm D-shackle
Browse our full range of high-quality D-shackles to ensure a secure and long-lasting connection.
