Introduction
The ULTRA Anchor User Guide provides comprehensive instructions for the use and maintenance of the ULTRA Anchor, a product known for its reliability and strength in various seabed conditions. The guide emphasizes the anchor's unique design and its proven performance in severe weather.

Anchor Deployment
1. Choose an appropriate anchoring location considering wind, swells, and depth.
2. Prepare the anchor by letting it hang from the bow roller.
3. Deploy the anchor by opening the gypsy and allowing the chain to run smoothly.
4. Ensure a scope of 4-5 times the depth from the bow roller to the seabed.
5. Adjust the scope as needed, especially in high winds or overnight stays.

Anchor Recovery
1. Start the engine and move the boat forward along the chain.
2. Use the windlass to recover the chain when the bow is above the anchor.
3. Secure the chain to prevent accidental deployment.

Maintenance and Pollution
1. Stainless steel may show surface rust or discoloration, which can be cleaned with polishers.
2. Contact with certain minerals or pollutants may cause surface changes, but these do not affect security.

ULTRA Anchor User Guide - 8 4.Would it be suitable to use a regular connector for the ULTRA Anchor? Generally speaking, when an anchor is subjected to great force, they drag. Therefore, they do not test the connectors to their total limit. However, due to the incredible holding power of the ULTRA Anchor, you will need to use a connector with a breaking strength no less than that of the connected chain. Therefore, we recommend using the ULTRA FLIP SWIVEL, which has been tested and proved to have higher breaking strength than the chain. 5. How do we recover the anchor if it is hooked the rocks?...

However, due to the clever design of the ULTRA Anchor with its unique self-aligning characteristics, it will always align itself correctly onto the bow roller. If you find the ULTRA Anchor is upside down when trying to recover it, there could be other causes, for example ; a) A narrow canal on some bow rollers could prevent the ULTRA Anchors' self-righting design from flipping itself into the correct position...
