Lippert Components Inc., a supplier of a broad array of highly engineered components for the leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the recreation and transportation product markets, and the related aftermarkets of those industries, introduces the new Axis™ Shallow Water Anchor by Lewmar®, a Lippert company, as the industry’s first electrically powered, articulating anchor.
Perfect for anglers, the Axis Shallow Water Anchor gives boaters total control over their positioning, deploying quickly and quietly in just 8 seconds, all with the push of a button. The Shallow Water Anchor is designed to keep boats anchored securely in up to 7’ of water. It features an electric linear actuator which means no hydraulic pumps or hoses, making it lightweight and easily installed.
The Lewmar Axis Shallow Water Anchor comes with everything boaters need for easy installation. The kit includes one set of mounting hardware, an RF module control box, an auto resetting fuse with waterproof fuse holder and a convenient remote control.
“Lewmar has designed this anchor for the avid fishermen,” said Harcourt Schutz, Lippert Senior Director of Sales for Marine Aftermarket. “The 12V powered design makes for a quiet and easy-to-operate anchor in up to 7’ of water. Anglers will want to add this anchor as one of their must-haves when chasing the fish.”

The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
