The Fortress Secondary Anchoring System: Everything You Need In One Package
Introducing the Fortress Secondary Anchoring System: Everything You Need in One Package
A complete backup anchoring solution that’s organized, protected, and ready when you need it—with savings of up to 25%.
Every experienced boater knows that having the right equipment aboard makes a difference. And while your primary anchor handles most anchoring situations, there are times when having a second anchor can provide additional versatility and peace of mind.
That’s why we’re introducing the Fortress Secondary Anchoring System—a complete package that brings together everything you need for a secondary anchoring setup.
Rather than purchasing an anchor, rope, chain, protective cover, and storage bag separately, we’ve brought them together into one convenient system, matched to your selected Fortress anchor.
And by purchasing the complete package, you can save up to 25% compared with buying the components individually.
Why Carry a Secondary Anchor?
The BoatUS Foundation recommends carrying two anchors when space permits, preferably of different types, since no single anchor is ideal for every situation. Learn more in their Anchoring & Mooring Guide.
A secondary anchor isn’t just a spare piece of equipment. It can serve several practical purposes aboard your boat.
A backup when you need one. If your primary anchor is lost, damaged, or unavailable, having a second anchoring system aboard provides another option.
Additional anchoring flexibility. Depending on your vessel, location, and conditions, a secondary anchor may be useful for certain two-anchor arrangements.
A portable anchoring solution. A lightweight Fortress anchor paired with a complete rode can be a convenient option for boaters who deploy and retrieve anchors manually.
Of course, carrying a secondary anchor is only useful if the equipment is properly maintained, accessible, and ready for use.
That’s where our new system comes in.
Everything You Need. One Complete Package.
Each Fortress Secondary Anchoring System includes:
- Fortress FX Anchor: Our lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum-magnesium alloy anchor, available in FX-7, FX-11, and FX-16 configurations.
- Complete Rope-and-Chain Rode: 250 feet of 3/8-inch rope, 15 feet of 1/4-inch chain, and supplied connection hardware.
- Fortress AnchorSuit: A protective cover designed to help prevent the stored anchor from damaging surrounding equipment.
- Fortress Standard Anchor Rode Storage Bag: Keeps your rope and chain together, organized, and easier to carry and store.
Every package is configured around the selected Fortress anchor, eliminating the need to source these components individually.
Organized Rode. Protected Anchor.
One of the challenges of carrying a secondary anchor is finding a practical way to store the equipment.
Loose rope and chain can create clutter in a storage compartment, while an uncovered anchor can damage nearby gear or interior surfaces.
The Fortress Secondary Anchoring System addresses both concerns.
The AnchorSuit provides a protective layer around the stored anchor, while the Anchor Rode Storage Bag gives the rope and chain a dedicated place.
The result is a more organized setup that’s easier to keep aboard and access when needed.
Save Up to 25% When You Buy the Complete System
There’s another advantage to purchasing the complete package: significant savings.
| System | Bundle Price | Your Savings |

| FX-11 | $754.99 | $174.73 |
| FX-16 | $784.99 | $264.30 |
Savings are calculated against the combined regular retail prices of the included components when purchased separately.
Whether you’re equipping your boat with its first secondary anchor or upgrading an existing backup arrangement, the complete system offers convenience and value in one package.
Ready for Your Next Trip
Having a secondary anchor aboard isn’t about expecting something to go wrong. It’s about having options and being prepared.
With the new Fortress Secondary Anchoring System, you can keep a complete backup anchoring setup organized, protected, and accessible without assembling the individual components yourself.
One complete package. Less guesswork. Better value.
