Installation

Check Your Mount Before You Check Out

Your boat's transom determines how your shallow water anchor is installed. Some boats can mount directly, while others require a mounting bracket. Use the guide below to make sure you have everything you need before checkout.

  • Direct Mount Compatible

    Flat Transom

    For boats with a flat transom, free from trim tab or outboard motor interference, and interior access, your anchor can mount directly to the boat with the included sturdy mounting plate — no additional mounting bracket required.

  • Mounting Bracket Required

    Curved or Shaped Transom

    If your transom is curved, stepped, or lacks sufficient mounting space, you'll need a mounting bracket for proper installation.

  • Jack Plate Mount Recommended

    Existing Jack Plate

    Boats already equipped with a jack plate should use the jack plate mounting bracket for a clean installation that preserves the transom.

  • Pontoon Mount Required

    Pontoon or Deck Boat

    Pontoon and deck boats require the pontoon mounting bracket for proper positioning and performance.

Vector 8' — Common Questions

The Vector uses a manual tensioning strap at the base of the pole. Press the pole down to deploy — the anchor foot descends into the bottom. Pull the strap to tension and lock the pole at the deployed position against upward force. To retrieve, release the strap buckle and pull the pole free. The entire cycle takes 3–5 seconds with no tools.
