Anchor pocket accidents can be costly. Fortunately, if you deal with them quickly you can avoid further damage to your vessel. At Engineered Yacht Solutions we have a systemic way of repairing anchor pockets. Although each case is slightly different and may require more extensive work, we typically conduct our repairs in the following manner.

First, we start out by completely removing the current anchor pocket plates from the vessel. The idea is to remove them and then replace the newly fabricated plates in their place. After the anchor plates are removed, all of the mounting holes will be filled with a high density filler. A new hole pattern will be used for the new plates. New holes will be drilled into the anchor plates, then countersunk. New holes will be drilled and tapped in the boat’s hull.
