MJ is that the new fangled thing called a drill in your hand. *CB you are a great friend to have. *Together you do good work! *Bill Mc ;D *Here's a post from about a year and a half ago. *Seakindly was asking opinions on anchor pulpits *This was MJ's answer. *Time changes all.

I never Anchor!! I can't rember when the last time I did?? *
But if I have to, what I do is throw the thing over the side, get it caught, then I hook it to my bow rope and let it go. Leaving the extra rope in the cockpit with me. *
* When its time to pull the anchor I yank it till I get the bow rope, undo it and pull the anchor right into the cockpit with me. *
might just have to use the anchor next week Cod fishing?? Wow that will be different. *

The pulpit is great! I see you decided not to cut the slot in the middle?

OK now where do I start with this? ;D ;D ;D "Hey CB, lets put or heads together and..." :D ;D ::)

Hey, MJ...if pullin' anchor chain back to cleat becomes pain, my buddy in Charleston uses a HEAVY-DUTY rubber bungee to secure chain back to cleat...snuggs that anchor up nicely and easy to deploy and store...no rattles... ;D...

Anytime Bud.
MJ's boat is really starting to look pretty good. This was just another nice addition. We had originally planned on cutting the hole and going with a pulpit type roller but the stores didn't have them in stock and would be weeks to order one. This style works just as well without compromising anything.

Now.................enough work, time to fish. ;)
