    Lewmar Axis Electric Shallow Water Anchor

    Cannot really get a lot of info about this product. Not sure if it would hold a 20ft fiberglass boat. Anyone.
    Sells for around $999

    It isn't really meant for the big fiberglass boats, mostly meant for aluminum boats that don't have room for pumps to run a hydraulic ram (instead of lewmar's electric ram). You will still need to purchase mounting brackets as well to mount them to your boat. Raptors are the next cheapest option for shallow water anchors and are a much better build and will hold better than the lewmar's.

    What about a smaller 18’ fiberglass bass boat? While my boat is technically within specs, there are also real-world experiences to factor in.

    Anyone have a link to the new one that was going to overtake the market a few years ago? It ran off a simple water pump using the lake water. Any info?

    I beg to differ about your comment.

    I have a 20ft Vexus AVX with the Lewmar Axis Shallow water anchor system, and it works great for this boat. I have mine mounted on the jack plate, and yes, I needed to get mounts for them. The powerpole mounts work with this system. This system is good for boats 22' and up to 4500lbs.

    This is good to know, considering that your boat is about 2' longer, wider, and likely at least several hundred pounds heavier than my boat from the mid-1980s.
