Sean, I believe the purpose of the 'hollow' in the side of the fluke is to place MORE weight on the tip. Filling in the hollow would possibly make matters worse, not better.

Also (and I should have made this clear initially), I do not want to substantially change the Manson Supreme. The anchor is an excellent design that performs brilliantly in many ways. I wish to ONLY make small 'tweaks' that do not negatively affect the great properties of the anchor.

Rather than make large modifications to the Manson Supreme, I would prefer to develop an entirely new anchor.

Steve
