Another thought is to spend a bit more and get a release anchor.
These have a large band (almost a loop) of metal with a sliding ring instead of the regular solid bar with the shackle hole at one end.
If these get stuck, when you drive around the other side, the ring slides up to the flukes and you can pull it out in the other direction.
I have one still, never lost it!, but it doesn't work on my windlass, so its home.
I think I got it through cabelas or bass pro's offshore angler catalog.
