mantus marine company

Based in the United States, Mantus Marine has designed and manufactured high-quality components for serious boat users. Their superior range is one step ahead of their competitors in design and functionality.

Their eye for quality is seeing them reach outside the United States on reputation and delivery. Their product ranges are filling niche pockets where others are failing or have failed to deliver.

A good example is the Mantus M3 anchor chain hook range. Mantus has succeeded where Wichard and Anchor Chain Claw struggle.

Mantus products are built tough and we have been using them for 4 years now. The adjacent video explains this product well.

mantus m3 chain hook review

We have tried and tested the:
Wichard Chain Hook (old style with spring pin system - no longer made)
Pro’s - All 316 stainless steel. Easy to connect.
Con’s - Pin is brittle and tends to bend. The pin and spring need replacing. The pin gets damaged through the roller.

Wichard Chain Hook (without the spring),
Pro’s - All 316 stainless steel. Easy to connect.
Con’s - Hook slides off the chain when the vessel drifts over the anchor point.

Anchor Chain Claw,
Pro’s - All 316 stainless steel. Easy to connect.
Con’s - Claw pops off the chain as it slips over the roller.

Mantus M2 Chain Hook (also called Chain Grabber),
Pro’s - All 2205 duplex stainless steel. Easy to connect.
Con’s - Rubber attachment fails over time. The rubber attachment has failed once going through the roller.

Mantus M3 Chain Hook.
Pro’s - All 2205 duplex stainless steel. Easy to connect.
Con’s - None to date. They recommend a spring change every two years.

our experience

Our sailboat cruising requires safe yet secure anchoring in conditions that could be calm from one minute to 35kts for the next three days while holding 21 tonnes.

We continue to fall back on the Rocna 33 with a Mantus Swivel S2 (see our review of Anchor Swivels here).

These are all correctly sized, so provide confidence to the next point of anchoring failure, where the bridle connects to the anchor chain.

This is where Mantus continues to deliver.
