Anchor Systems
Bo's Anchor Release. We have sold more Bo's anchor systems than any other kind. The reason is obvious: with this system you can drop anchor while you're rowing. You don't have to pause while you reach around to let out your anchor, drifting past the hole where you want to fish. You can anchor right where you want to stop. It's not only easy to anchor, but it is also easier to pull the anchor up. Furthermore, in a tight spot where the oarsman needs to begin rowing just as soon as the anchor leaves the bottom of the river, this is a handy system for a passenger to pull up the anchor while the oarsman rows the boat. Another advantage of this system is that the anchor rope runs under the rear floorboard, out of the way and exits the boat through a hole in the transom, rather than over the top. This is much easier on the transom. You get three pulleys, a foot-release pedal, a plastic tube (for the rope to pass under the rear floorboard), mounting bolts, and instructions. The recommended anchor rope for this system is 3/8" braided nylon. A thirty foot length seems to work well.
Bo's foot release only ........ $95.00
Bo's under floor board anchor system ........ $195.00
Diek's Anchor Arm is easy to install or remove. Two simple bolts mount this unit flush with top of your transom. The single pulley and line cleat are all attached. The only disadvantage of this simple system is that the rower has to turn around to hoist the anchor. That a little more difficult if you are using an anchor that is more than 30lbs.
Dierks Center Transom Anchor Arm ........ $80.00
Pyramid Anchors. A must for anchoring a drift boat in current. These are made from lead for the best possible holding. The 30 pound is most popular, but some prefer to carry the lighter 20 pound, especially in conditions of slow current and low water. Ask us about other sizes. For shipping, it's best to purchase one with the kit to avoid shipping separately by UPS.
30 lb Pyramid Anchor ........ $75.00
20 lb Pyramid Anchor........ $55.00
