Diy Kayak Anchor Trolley

A DIY kayak anchor trolley is a simple system that allows you to easily deploy and retrieve your anchor from your kayak. It is made up of a rope, two pulleys, and a carabiner. The rope is run through the pulleys and attached to the kayak at two points. The anchor is attached to the carabiner at the end of the rope. To deploy the anchor, simply pull on the rope until the anchor reaches the bottom. To retrieve the anchor, simply reverse the process.

To make a DIY kayak anchor trolley, you will need:
