The Schaefer Anchor Hanger is specifically designed for Danforth-style anchors within the 8 to 22 lb weight range and stock diameters of 1/2" to 3/4". Anchors outside this specification may not fit securely or could potentially damage the hanger or anchor.
I've heard vinyl liners can wear out. Is this a common issue?
While extended periods of heavy use may eventually show wear on the vinyl liner, it is designed to protect your boat's finish during normal operation. Replacement liners are generally available or can be fabricated by a marine upholstery specialist if needed.
My pulpit tubing isn't exactly 1 inch. Will this still work?
