Review on Airhead A 3 Screw Anchor System by Greg Mahoney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not intended for salt water.

I bought this mounting system for my 2020 Sea Doo GTI and wanted to use it in the sea on sandbars or beaches. Unfortunately the propeller pulled out of the ground the first time I used it and if it hadn't been for my 'real' anchor (a 2.2 pound claw anchor) I would have lost my Sea Doo. I was in a rather calm area where there were minimal waves and a wind of 10-12 m/s. Most of the waves were from small boats sailing 50 to 100 yards away so the water was fairly calm. I'm sure this thing will work fine on very calm days with no wind or no other boats, but I still wouldn't trust it to hold your jet ski while you walk or get off your ski for free. Time. I would recommend replacing the bolt with one of these plastic parasol anchor bolts, they are 10x stronger and will hold securely with enough pressure. Or you can go down the route of buying a real anchor and using the rope, buoy and clamps from that screw anchor and throwing the metal screw anchor in the trash. If you're looking for a jet ski anchor system, do yourself a favor and get a 2.2 pound Claw/Bruce style anchor. It holds 100x better and is about the same size as this kit and costs the same for an anchor, rope and small buoy.

Pros
  • Decent performance
