## Core Products (detailed)

### M1 Performance Anchor
https://www.mantusmarine.com/mantus-anchors/
The flagship Mantus anchor. A roll-bar anchor engineered to dig quickly and deeply, re-set reliably during wind and tide shifts, and disassemble with bolts for compact storage as a spare. Available in galvanized steel and stainless steel across a full size range for dinghies through large cruising yachts. Sizing guidance is provided by the interactive anchor sizing tool.

### M2 Performance Anchor
https://www.mantusmarine.com/m2-anchor/
A roll-bar-free anchor designed to set on the first attempt, every time. The M2 self-launches from bow rollers more easily than roll-bar designs, making it a fit for boats with tight bow platforms. Available in galvanized and stainless finishes.

### Quick Connect Small Anchors
https://www.mantusmarine.com/mantus-quick-connect-anchor/
Compact anchors for dinghies, kayaks, and small boats, with quick-connect hardware for easy stowage and deployment. (Formerly marketed under the "Dinghy Anchor" name.)

### Mantus Dinghy
https://www.mantusmarine.com/mantus-dinghy/
A solid rotomolded dinghy offering the stability and convenience of a rigid inflatable with the durability and lifespan of a rigid boat. Unsinkable, low maintenance, and light. Sold through dinghy dealers.

### Snubbers & Bridles
https://www.mantusmarine.com/mantus-bridle/
Anchor bridles and single-leg snubbers that absorb chain shock loads and quiet the boat at anchor. Paired with the M3 chain hook, a load-tested stainless steel hook whose test data is published in the knowledge base.

### Mantus Swivel & Mooring Snap Shackle
