We wanted to carry an anchor trolley that would not only be functional and durable but easy to install. We also wanted to limit the amount of holes you are drilling into the kayak so every component is fastened with a single hole as opposed to using deck loops which need 2 holes drilled each and will wear from friction. We compiled what we feel is a great system and can be installed on the kayak in 10 minutes. This system is designed to work with an anchor, drift sock or a stake-out pole and is a bow to stern system.
