Welded and E-coated to shrug off salt and sun, it ships with two backer plates and all the hardware for a straightforward DIY install. It's the clean, solid way to rig shallow water anchoring on your pontoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnchoring a pontoon in skinny water used to mean leaning over the rail with a pole, or dropping a hook that just drags across a sandy bottom. The Lewmar SWA Pontoon Deck Mounting Bracket fixes that. It bolts a Lewmar Axis or Vector shallow water anchor straight to your pontoon deck, so you get quick, precise holding on the flats, over a sandbar, or tucked into a quiet cove for the afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShallow water anchors are the go-to for the pontoon crowd that spends the day in three or four feet of water. A spike-style anchor drives into the bottom and pins you in place without the swing you get from a traditional anchor and rode. Run one and you hold tight against wind and wake. The catch has always been finding a clean, strong spot to bolt it down. That's the whole point of this bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what it does. It gives your shallow water anchor a solid, welded mounting point on the deck instead of hanging off the back of the boat or riding in some makeshift pole holder. Lewmar builds it as a welded assembly and finishes it with an E-coat, the same kind of corrosion protection you'd want on any part that lives out in the spray and sun all season. Salt, rain, UV. It's made to take them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a DIY job for most owners. Everything you need comes in the box: the bracket, two backer plates, the mounting hardware, and printed installation instructions. Those backer plates matter more than folks expect. Pontoon decks are thin, and the plates spread the anchor's pulling load across a wider patch of deck instead of concentrating it on four bolt holes. On a really thin or soft deck, it's worth adding an aluminum backing plate and a set of fender washers so nothing pulls through when the anchor loads up in a current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on placement. Most owners mount the bracket up on the front deck, ahead of the gates and the seating. Put it there and you keep your boarding gates and bench seats clear, and the anchor deploys cleanly off the bow where you want it. Take a few minutes to dry-fit before you drill. Check that the bracket clears your bow rail and any forward gate, because deck layouts vary from one pontoon to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you do drill, go slow. A step bit and a pilot hole keep the deck from spider-cracking around the fasteners, which is the number one gripe you'll hear from anyone who rushed the install with a standard bit. Bed the hardware in a good marine sealant, snug everything down, and you're set for the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracket is compatible with Lewmar's Quick Release mounting system, so you can pull the anchor off the deck without tools when you want the space back or you're trailering home. Drop it on for a day of fishing, lift it off for a cruise with a full crew. That flexibility is a big part of why pontoon owners like this setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's it for? Anyone running a Lewmar Axis or Vector shallow water anchor on a pontoon who's tired of improvising a mount. It isn't a universal bracket for every anchor out there, and it isn't a windlass. It's a purpose-built deck mount for Lewmar's shallow water anchors, sized and drilled for exactly that job. If that's your anchor, this is the clean way to rig it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe White finish blends into most pontoon decks and rail work, and the whole thing carries a 1-year Lewmar warranty. That's the name Lewmar's been putting on marine hardware since 1946. Rig it once, do the install right, and it'll ride out there with you season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounts Lewmar Axis and Vector shallow water anchors directly to the pontoon deck for precise holding in skinny water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction gives the anchor a solid, no-flex mounting point that stands up to real use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eE-coated finish resists corrosion through salt, rain, and season-long UV exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Lewmar's Quick Release mounting system for tool-free anchor removal and trailering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips with two backer plates that spread the anchor's load across the thin pontoon deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDIY-friendly install with all mounting hardware and printed instructions in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoughly 9.45 lb with a 19 in x 9.25 in x 5 in footprint that mounts cleanly on the front deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a 1-year Lewmar warranty\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\u003eWhich anchors does this bracket work with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for the Lewmar Axis and Vector shallow water anchors.
