Re: Anchor Trolley
i used one just like that made by hobie. I dislike those pulleys, they make a horrible crackling noise when under pressure.cruiser wrote:Who makes the best of the shelf anchor trolley system? Will be mouting on a Malibu stealth 12.

I have often wondered why people use pulleys. On my old boat I used large caribiners on the front and back straps then ran rope in a circle connected at a third caribe\iner to tie the two ends together. The line was easy to pull sliding on the metal caribers. And you could snap your anchor line in and out at the movable caribiner.

I often wondered why people used carabiners instead of pulleys.
They are big and clunky, add more hardware than necessary and, in the ten years the anchor has been on my kayak, it has never been removed.
Plus, they just look better and more professional.

So does a measuring board when you use it for a paddle.Rik wrote:I often wondered why people used carabiners instead of pulleys.
