We can fix that too but I don't think you need it. As long as you have a cleat and rode guide you will be good to go. Here is a link to the anchor I use. Very light and excellent holding in sand. Claws and deltas work ok but I find them all the time as they drag until they hit the reef and often get stuck. For Anchoring on small rock piles these types of hooks do great as you anchor in the sand and drift back to the rockpile. Many will argue which is the best but I really like this style and so do several of my commercial friends if that says anything.

The Fortress and Guardian are basically the same anchor with one that is anodized and a lot more money. Pick what ever one you like. Their selection chart says the G7 will work on your sled but you could go up one size if you like but I don't think it is necessary. Don't forget the 15' of 3/16 stainless chain (yes, it works better than galvanized). Also, get at least 200' of 3/8 nylon rope. I can help you back splice the ends.
