Lewmar White SWA Sandwich Mount Kit for Axis & Vector

If you fish skinny water, a shallow water anchor changes how you work a flat. The problem is always the same: where do you mount it? A lot of bay boats and center consoles run a jack plate or a heavy motor bracket on the transom, and there's no clean real estate left for a spike anchor. That's exactly what the Lewmar White SWA Sandwich Mount Kit solves. It sandwiches between your outboard's mounting bracket and the transom, so the anchor rides right there without a single new hole in your hull.

The name says it all. This is a sandwich mount. The plate slips in behind the motor bracket, you re-torque the through-bolts, and the anchor now has a solid home. No-drill installation is the whole point. You're not opening up gelcoat, you're not chasing a leak a season later, and you're not committing your transom to a bolt pattern you might regret. For anybody who's careful about the integrity of a fiberglass hull, that matters.

Lewmar built this one for the Axis and Vector shallow water anchors specifically. If you're running either of those, the bracket lines up and the hardware's already in the box. What you get is a one-piece aluminum bracket, a shim to dial in the fit against your particular bracket stack, the mounting hardware, and the instructions. That's it. Simple by design.

The aluminum construction is one piece for a reason. A shallow water anchor takes a real load when it's planted and the boat's swinging on it in current or wind. A two-piece or bolted-up bracket has more places to flex and work loose. One piece keeps everything rigid, which is what you want when the anchor's holding you off a bar in a stiff breeze. The finish is E-coated white, so it blends in on a white transom and it's built to sit in salt spray without turning to chalk.

Here's the part a lot of folks miss until they've lived with an anchor for a season. This mount is compatible with Lewmar's Quick Release bracket, so you can pull the whole shallow water anchor off for storage, for trailering, or for the off-season. That's a big deal. Leaving an anchor hanging on the transom in a trailer bay or a tight slip is asking for a bent shaft. With the Quick Release in the system, the anchor comes off in seconds and the mount stays put.

Who's this for? Flats and bay boat owners who've been eyeing a shallow water anchor but didn't want to drill. Guides who need the anchor mounted clean and out of the way of the cockpit. Anybody re-powering or adding a jack plate who wants to fold the anchor mount into the same job. If your transom's already crowded with a bracket and a plate, the sandwich approach is usually the tidiest way in.

A couple of honest notes. This is the sandwich mount, meaning it installs between the motor and the transom. If your setup calls for mounting off the side of the jack plate instead, Lewmar makes a separate jack plate mount for that. Check how your bracket sits before you order so you get the right one. And while the install is no-drill, you'll still be pulling the motor bracket bolts to slide the plate in, so plan for it as a proper job, not a five-minute swap. It's straightforward, but it's not nothing.

Bottom line: if you run an Axis or Vector and you've got a jack plate or motor bracket eating up your transom, this is the kit that gets the anchor mounted right without cutting into your hull. One-piece aluminum, white E-coat, Quick Release ready, and every piece of hardware you need to bolt it up. We keep these moving and ship same day on in-stock orders placed before 3 PM ET.
