anchor rope attatchment

Post by 4x4yak »

I couldnt tie off the anchor rope anywhere convenient so i came up with this idea.I just snap the rope into the camloc at any lenght and its done .I dont have to let out all my anchor rope .The only drawbac is the camloc isnt cheap ,about $50 for a decent one .

Been looking at mounting a cam lock at the front and back of the outfitter.

I have seen them used 2 back-to back to lock the anchor trolley. Yachts use them for locking the 'traveller' that controls the boom. That way you can have it front or aft.
