Pic shows main Bruce type anchor and a Danforth secondary. I purchased a used Delta as a third anchor.
Does anyone have experience with this one? I used it from Marathon to Crisfield with great results. 20' of 3/8" chain and 85' of 1" braid. Recently purchased 64' of 3/8" chain and 100' of 1" braid. 20230616_144206.jpg20230616_144054.jpg20230616_144145.jpg20230616_144200.jpg
 
Not a Bruce. It's a pivoting SuperMAX.

Instructions on the website. Great anchor. Have had two, progressively larger on previous boats, and I'd have another now if the shank length would fit between our davit rollers and the chain stopper.

I have the 35-pound version of this SuperMax. Great anchor for a 12,000-pound boat. That one in the OP's photo is a big 'un.
