Mount It Your Way
Find the right shallow water anchor bracket for your Lewmar Axis or Vector. Compare the jack plate, motor mount, pontoon deck, and quick release boat anchor mount options.
Choose Your Mounting Style
Five ways to mount a Lewmar Axis or Vector anchor — pick the shallow water anchor mount that matches your transom, your hardware, and how often you need to remove the anchor from your boat.

Quick Release Bracket
This boat anchor bracket has a dovetail-style mounting interface that lets your anchor slide on and off in seconds — no tools, no bolts.
Why Add Quick Release?
- Easier trailering
- Simpler garage and off-season storage
- Added security when the boat is unattended
- Fast seasonal removal and reinstallation
- Compatible with most boat covers
- Swap one anchor between multiple boats
Compatible With:
- Direct Transom Mounting
- Jack Plate Mount
- Motor Mount
- Pontoon Mount

Jack Plate Mount
This anchor bracket attaches directly to an existing jack plate, eliminating the need to drill additional holes into the transom.
Why Choose Jack Plate?
- Zero additional transom holes
- Improved spike deployment geometry
- Solves clearance conflicts with trim tabs or outboard hardware
Compatible With:
- Boats with an existing jack plate

Motor Mount
The motor mount installs between the outboard and transom to create a secure anchor mounting point on curved or limited-clearance transoms.
Why Choose Motor Mount?
- Works with curved transoms that can't take a direct mount
- No jack plate required
- Zero additional transom holes
- Improved spike deployment geometry
- Solves clearance conflicts with trim tabs or outboard hardware
Compatible With:
- Boats with standard outboard motors

Pontoon Deck Mount
The pontoon anchor mount is purpose-built for pontoons and deck boat applications where traditional transom mounting isn't practical.
Why Choose Pontoon Deck Mount?
- Keeps the anchor clear of excess wake and spray
- Improved spike deployment geometry
- Solves clearance conflicts on flat-deck layouts
Compatible With:
- Pontoon and deck boats
Already Have a Bracket?
Good news! All Lewmar shallow anchors use the industry-standard four-hole mounting pattern, making them compatible with virtually any shallow water anchor bracket on the market.
How Axis Fits an Existing Power-Pole® Mount
Watch our step-by-step walkthrough showing how the Axis shallow water anchor mounts directly to existing Power-Pole® bracket patterns — no additional drilling required.
“Super easy install and will also mount to Minn Kota® Talon® or Raptor® mounts. Very happy with these and highly recommend these over other brands.”
