Tie Down Engineering Super Hooker Anchor – Model #8, 480 lb. Holding
The Tie Down Engineering Super Hooker Anchor is a well-built, galvanized steel anchor designed for reliable holding in a wide range of bottom conditions. The Model #8 delivers 480 lb. of holding strength — a meaningful step up from the Model #4 — making it a capable primary anchor for small to mid-size powerboats and a solid secondary option for larger vessels.
The hot-dipped galvanized finish provides long-lasting corrosion resistance in both saltwater and freshwater environments, and the strong construction ensures the anchor holds up to regular use season after season.
Key Features
- 480 lb. holding strength for confident anchoring in sand, mud, and mixed bottoms
- Hot-dipped galvanized finish for long-lasting corrosion resistance
- Strong, well-made construction built for regular use
- Practical weight and size for easy handling on small to mid-size vessels
- Versatile design suitable for a range of bottom types
Compatible Applications
- Powerboats and runabouts 14–20 ft. (as primary anchor)
- Pontoon and deck boats in sheltered anchorages
- Personal watercraft and small day boats
- Larger vessels as a secondary or lunch hook anchor
- Calm to moderate anchorages in sand, mud, or mixed bottoms
Parts Desk Insights
The Super Hooker Model #8 fills the gap between the compact Model #4 and the mid-range Model #13, making it the right choice for boaters with vessels in the 14–20 ft. range who need more holding capacity than the #4 provides but don’t yet need the full weight of the #13. The 480 lb. holding strength is well-suited for day boats and weekend cruisers anchoring in protected bays, rivers, and lakes. For smaller vessels, see the Tie Down Engineering Super Hooker Anchor – Model #4, 250 lb. Holding. For larger vessels, the range continues with Model #13 (740 lb.), Model #18 (1,050 lb.), Model #22 (1,300 lb.), and 40 lb. and 85 lb. heavy-duty models. For a complete anchoring solution, see the Super Hooker Anchor Kit – 8 lb. | 17–24 ft. and Super Hooker Anchor Kit – 13 lb. | 25–30 ft.
