[2ndchance]

This is our version of a wreck/rock anchor. The anchor is made from the top rail of chain link fence and 3 peices of 3/8" rebar. Cut the fence rail 6 to 8" long, Cut the rebar 1 each 4' long and 2 each 22" long. Bend the 4' long peice in half, you have to use a maul to get the top radius smallenough to get close to the end of the pipe. Insert the bent peice into the pipe and then put the short peices in. Stick the bent end into a bucket of sand and melt some lead. Pour the lead into the pipe and let cool. Then turn the anchor over and fill the other end with lead. Then you bend the tines in the shape that you can see in the pic. When you set the anchor in the wreck or rocks it will hold. When you are ready to move you motor up until the anchor rope is as straight up and down as you can get it, cleat it off and then power off the wreck/ rocks. The tines that were holding will bend and release. When you get the anchor up on the boat you take a peice of pipe and rebend the tines and you are ready to set it again.
