WAVESRX 18" & 12'' Aluminum Sand Spike
The 12” WaveCobra beach anchor is designed to hold watercraft up 2,000 lbs in dry weight. The 18" WaveCobra beach anchor is designed to hold boats up to 5,000 lbs in dry weight.
I would recommend carrying a rubber mallet for areas of the sand which are highly compacted. Sometimes your foot pressure is not adequate to always set the anchor. I now carry a rubber hammer myself.
Thank you for contacting us. An 18-inch anchor with AnchorMate 14 feet to 50 feet combo would work perfectly, just keep in mind this is Sand-bar or Shallow Water anchor and not a deep anchor. If you have any issue with a combo please reach out to us directly even if Amazon returns window is closed.
One did not do a great job of keeping my 17' boat anchored in shallow water in Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe. Tow might work, but I think you should be able to find a more secure anchor in the mud to help pull you out.
I’m sorry I’m not 100% sure what your asking. But, I have two yamaha Waverunners, which weighs in around 500 or so each. I purchased a bungee rope (maybe 6’ long), put a clip at one end (to attach to the bow) and looped it through the anchor. I’m on the beach, I secure the anchor down into the sand at the waters edge. I attach the other Waverunner to it and I’ve never had an issue. I will not do it if there’s waves coming in, it would probably come out of the sand, plus beat my Waverunners together. Small waves it does fine. I would definitely recommend. I love the two I have.
Just the Anchor. No rope or links
Yes it holds . Even in waist deep water as long as there isn’t waves pulling the boat up and down.
If you are using it to anchor in the sand on a beach. It must be driven into the sand with your foot. But as a beach anchor it works really great to keep the boat from swinging out to sea. So regular anchor off bow and Beach Cobra in the sand. We use a 150 foot rope but usually have far less out. We never beach our boat, we use the Beach Cobra instead.
We have recently released two mounting clips (that are included with purchase) which can be mounted on any flat surface of the Personal Watercraft (PWC). For example, the clips may be mounted in the wet storage compartment. This prevents the anchor from rattling and/or bouncing around when the PWC is in motion. This also aids in the prevention of damaging the PWC. At this time, a storage bag is not included with the anchor.
The WaveCobra is designed for use in shallow water or on sandbars. It's not intended for deep-water anchoring.
WAVESRX Premium Boat Trailer Transom Straps
I used them on a 23' Cobalt that is significantly heavier than what you are describing. Yes, they cinch tight. My boat didn't move on a 600 mile trip. They should work just fine for you.
"Maximum reach for 48 straps, hook to hook is 50 inches.
Thank you for your inquire."
"Thank you for reaching out to us. I believe 24 inches will be a very tight fit. I suggest going with 48inch strap.
Thank you
-Andrew"
I am sure they would. My boat is heavier than that and they work fine.
WAVESRX Package indicates the following: Designed in USA; Made in PRC (People's Republic of China)
The rivets are strong enough for the rated capacity and we have an independent company test the tensile strength of each batch. We have not received any reports of rivets collapsing under tension. In the unlikely event that there is a manufacturer defect that was missed by our rigorous quality control, please reach out to us at support@wavesrx.com and we would be happy to issue a refund or replacement
The rivet is not under tension when the straps are in use. Its function is to open and close the buckle.
"I am sorry about this issue. Amazon has been having issues with sending out wrong product as they handle all our shipments. Please email us at support@wavesrx.com with your order number and we will resolve this issue ASAP.
Thank you

All Presure is on the buckle and not the rivets. Have been using mine for over 3 months and traveled over 150 miles in one trip with no issues. Rivets are used only to open and close straps.
The inner diameter of the hook is 28.3 mm
Amazon handles prime deliveries. They are probably behind due to Covid 19
The shortest that they would go would be 18 inches. I would recommend getting 24 inch version so you won’t have a lot of slack hanging.
Thank for bringing this issue to our attention. We will be happy to replace your strap as per our Hassle Free 3 Year Warranty. Please email us at Warranty@WavesRx.com with your order number and we’ll get your replacement strap on the way.

Probably not. These are similar to magic erasers and those will harm car finnishes.
