Hi,just purchased some bits to make my own anchor trolley set up.you need 2 x 25mm halyard blocks part no's 00.03CRD (www.sea-sure.co.uk)D*****S BANGOR £3.85 EACH or similar.Ive already got my carabina,you'll also need good quality line 6 or 8 mm dia to suit kayak length.As for anchoring the halyard blocks im using the same line to create a loop at each end to secure to existing fittings on the yak. You may also fit a small clam cleat,if you prefer to secure anchor line.I spent approx £16 on these bits. You can spend a lot more if you wish it depends on your personal preference.I opted for simplicity and basic,because i drift fish most of the time.Hope this helps?Theres some further info and pics on down on the main index of the forum.

This is my solution to get the anchor as close to the stern as possible ( prowler elite) It works a treat

Nice one Curly. Did you make this yourself? Something like this is what I've been concidering myself for my prowler.

Yes. Had to cut the stainlees screws down to fit as holes are only shallow!

Blow! Just realised my prowler 13 is tapered to a point here. I would have requested one myself otherwise. (;o)
