bent anchor

[scoflaw]

Just noticed I have a considerable bend on the shaft on my stock anchor. It seems to be poorly designed with no lateral bracing on the shaft itself, even though the metal is quite thick. Can anyone suggest a better style, that will fit my 280?

Picture? What weight/size/style do you have?

Is it one of the 25-30# kodiak plow anchors? Good gouge on pricing here...

It is a Kodiak, not sure of the weight. Thinking unless it's a different design, I could bend a similar one just as easily

I have a Kodiak that I have bent twice in the last two years by hanging it up in rocks on the bottom. I have taken it to a local machine shop where they put it in a 300 ton press and it looks brand new. Has stayed straight for some time now. Much cheaper than a new anchor.
