{"product_id":"lewmar-axis-6ft-shallow-water-anchor-black","title":"Lewmar Axis 6ft Shallow Water Anchor, Black, 12V Electric","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Lewmar Axis is a 6-foot shallow water anchor in black that pins your boat in place at the push of a button. Its 12V electric actuator needs no hydraulic pumps or hoses, so it's lightweight and easy to install, and remote-controlled deployment holds you over the perfect spot without a throwable anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lewmar Axis shallow water anchor changes the way you fish and gunkhole in skinny water. Instead of tossing a traditional anchor over the side and hoping it grabs, you tap a button and a rugged 6-foot spike drives straight down into the bottom, pinning your boat exactly where you want it. This is the black version, finished in a durable powder-coated aluminum that stands up to sun, salt, and the daily knocks of a working transom. For flats skiffs, bay boats, and small center consoles that spend their days in a few feet of water, a shallow water anchor is one of those upgrades you wonder how you ever fished without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Axis stand out is how it's built. Where some shallow water anchors rely on hydraulic pumps and hoses that add weight, plumbing, and failure points, the Axis uses a 12-volt electric linear actuator to drive the arm. That means no pump to mount, no hoses to route, and no hydraulic fluid to worry about. The result is a lighter, cleaner installation that most boaters can handle themselves. The actuator is rated IP67M for harsh environments, so it keeps working reliably even when it's constantly splashed, submerged at the tip, and baked in the sun day after day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeployment is fast and genuinely convenient. Hit the remote and the articulating arm drives the anchor into the bottom in seconds, holding your boat steady against wind and current. When you're ready to move, tap the remote again and the arm retracts to its stored position. You can even program two anchors on a single remote, so if you run a pair of Axis units on the transom for maximum holding and boat control, you manage both from one handheld. That's a real advantage when you're staked out on a school of fish and don't want the stern swinging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Axis measures 6 feet in length, which gives you the reach to hold bottom in the shallow depths where these anchors shine. Stored height is about 43 inches, so it tucks up neatly when you're running, and the whole unit weighs just 18 pounds, keeping weight low at the transom. It's rated for boats up to 18 feet, making it a natural fit for skiffs, jon boats, small bay boats, and tenders. Installation is a snap. You attach it to the transom with the standard bracket, and if your rigging calls for something different, Lewmar offers a variety of optional mounting brackets to get the angle and position right for your boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink about how you actually use your boat in the shallows. You spot fish tailing on a flat and want to stop without spooking them. You pull up to a sandbar for lunch and don't want to drift into your neighbor. You're drifting a productive stretch and want to lock down the second you get a bite. In every one of those moments, a shallow water anchor lets you stop quietly and instantly, with no anchor to throw, no rode to manage, and no noise to send fish scattering. The Axis does it electrically, so there's nothing to prime and nothing to bleed, just a button and a solid hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLewmar has been building anchoring and deck gear since 1946, and that experience shows in the Axis. It's engineered to take the elements, simple to live with, and quick to deploy when it counts. If you fish shallow, run a small boat, or just want the freedom to stop anywhere the water's thin, the Axis in black is a clean, reliable way to stay put. Pair it with a second unit for even better boat control, and you'll wonder how you ever fished the flats without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-foot shallow water anchor that pins your boat in place at the push of a button\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-volt electric linear actuator means no hydraulic pumps, hoses, or fluid to maintain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight and easy to install thanks to the pump-free electric design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote-controlled deployment drives the anchor down in seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgram two anchors on one remote for dual-unit boat control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67M harsh-environment actuator built for constant spray and sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable powder-coated aluminum finish in black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttaches with the standard transom bracket, with optional brackets available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs just 18 pounds and stores at about 43 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for boats up to 18 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Lewmar reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow does a shallow water anchor work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a rugged spike on an articulating arm that drives straight down into the bottom to hold your boat in place.
