Have you ever wanted to anchor , but when you go to throw the anchor your ropes in knots.

Heres a quick fix I did to save my self some time.

List of supplies:

1 spool that will fit all your anchor rope.
(got one from a hardware store when they were done with it)
2 stainless steel eye screws. W/ nuts. and washers.
1 aluminum rod
2 T-nuts

this works great. I can now just lift my bow seat and throw the anchor w/out worrieing about the rope. I do still spool it up by hand. but its worth the time when your trying to drop the anchor b4 you hit the rocks.

I also put a rubber mat in ther so my anchors a lil easy'r on the fibber glass..

If you use some stiffer line you won't have as many issues with knots. Your rode looks as soft as yarn in the pics.
