Just checked out your rigging method for the Hobie anchor trolley, and i must say, I am impressed. I too have a PA, and just purchased the anchor trolley and just might have a go at installing it this week before i am due to go on holidays. Just wanted to know where you got the rope from? I had a look at Spotlight, and they didn't have any curtain cord that was of a decent thickness so i had to resort to crap poly rope from Bunnings. And also did you get the stainless clips for the trolley and the swivel shackels at a boating/yachting store?....

Cheers,...Ash

Hey Ash,
He just used the hobie anchor trolley kit.
They are $45-50 at Westvic, all the bits you need including enough rope is included except Rhino added an extra clip which is definitely recommended.
Looking at the 2 clips he has in the photo looks like he bought 2 because they are bigger than the hobie ones which helps if your anchor rope is a large diameter, you can get them at heaps of places BCF, yachting and marine shops etc.

Yeah, i went in and saw Neil and bought a hobie kit, but I was wondering where he got the the actual anchor rope on the hand reel from as I had to resort to cheap shite from Bunnings, and I also got some 316 stainless clips while I was there, but they aren't what I wanted. Can you recommend a good marine shop where I can get something similar?

You can pick up 4mm cord from BCF, CH Smith or Whitworths.

Cheers Brendon, I'll try BCF as I am in Geelong and haven't heard of the other 2 places.
