Thank you for these great instructions. 👍 I followed your video on using a drift sock to this video. Do you use the zig cleat when you use the trolley for shuttling the drift sock to the bow? Any issues with the seals and water leakage around the hardware you installed via tri-fold rivets?
You should be able to set something up between the centre carry handle and the stern carry handle. Maybe clip the pulleys to these using karabiners so it can all be removed at the end of the day. The only thing you would have to think about is mounting a cleat to lock off the anchor trolley line. You could possibly use cable ties to attach a cleat to the seat frame. It would all be a little crude but I’m sure it would be functional! 😀 there is always a way!
Hi thanks for the great videos. Do you have any advice about the best way to use one anchor across two kayaks? I have tried side by side but the kayaks knock together quite badly with the waves, would prefer to be side by side if possible rather than roped one infront of the other if that makes sense?
You could use some small fenders between the kayaks to stop the knocking to some extent. I quite often anchor my friends off the front of my kayak, we use a system called ‘daisy chaining’. A stainless ring is used on a loop of bungee and clipped to my front handle. The other kayak then has a long length of 8mm floating cord with a karabiner tied to one end. This clips to the anchor trolley karabiner / ring on their kayak. The free end of the floating rope then passes through the ring on the front of my kayak, back through the anchor trolley karabiner / ring of the other kayak and back to their cleat. With their anchor trolley shuttled to the stern and cleated off, the other kayak sits off my bow and they can quick-release just by releasing the floating rope from their cleat and paddling off. This feeds through the ring on my kayak and because it is clipped to theirs they take it off with them. Hopefully that makes sense! I’ll have to do a video expanding it all at some point 😀
I know im late to the party, but if you put the tips of needle nose pliers or similar between the head of the rivet and the gun, you will avoid the issue of spacing.
Great vid again Liam - quick question though 👀 In theory, Could you use the split line/tow line to anchor another small kayak onto you once you’ve anchored? (Assuming your anchor is well in place with plenty of warp etc and there’s no mega strong wind/current so light conditions only) Thinking of when I’m taking one of my boys with me and I don’t yet trust them with an anchor of their own 😁
Hmmm I’m not too sure it would be best to use the single anchor trolley for both anchoring your kayak and attaching a second. It would be better to have a quick release line to the second kayak anchored off your bow and set it up so their line is attached to a cleat on your kayak or tied off to a point on your kayak - this way you have control of releasing them from anchor if needed, which may be a good idea if younger ones are involved. I have done similar before simply by tying a length of floating rope to the stern of the second kayak, then run this rope through the bow handle and attaching to something secure on my kayak... a side handle works well! Tie a quick release mooring hitch knot to make it easy to release when needed. It takes both paddlers to set it up with passing the rope from one to the other but it’s easy enough once you get your head around it. It’s probably grounds for another video at some point! 😁
@@CornishKayakAngler my fault for not being clear - I meant a second trolley down the other side of the kayak (one side for my anchor and another trolley the other for attaching the boy to with the extra karabiner)
Hi, thanks for the video, it was very helpful to me. Why do you use rivets instead of stainless screws? I'm going to instal my anchor trolley system so I wonder what will be better. Thanks
Take a look at the video I put together on fixings, it will explain the best options for high load accessories such as an anchoring systems: th-cam.com/video/GHWHpGhjtUs/w-d-xo.html
I've watched this video so many times . I have to get around to putting an anchor on my kayak , which is also a Tarpon 120. Thanks a mil for the video

Thank you! Excellent detailed video.
Your videos are the best! Thank you sir
Thanks! I appreciate the comment 😀
never thought about a tow line lol nice
Thanks. I'm across the pond.
Excellent video as usual. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Thanks Billy, really appreciate the comment 😊
Awesome video. Thanks
Really informative. Thanks for posting in such detail. 👍
Thanks Phil 😊
Can you do it without drilling holes?

Any issues with the seals and water leakage around the hardware you installed via tri-fold rivets?
What size and what length revets do you use ? Are they aluminium or stainless steel?
Hi, thanks for the videos. Is it possible to fit a half anchor trolly to a Hobie itrek11?

Do ya ever consider selling these kayaks at Cornwall canoes as compete finished set ups
There are way too many options and everyone wants something different! Most of the fun is choosing how to rig your kayak 😎
@@CornishKayakAngler yeh fair good thinking
I know im late to the party, but if you put the tips of needle nose pliers or similar between the head of the rivet and the gun, you will avoid the issue of spacing.
Yep that works great too! I usually just pop a few washers over the rivet shaft to achieve the same.
Where do I buy all these pulley bits. Can’t find them on the kayak and paddle sites. Only as cheap kits on eBay ect
If you are in the UK, everything you need can be sourced from Cornwall Canoes: www.cornwall-canoes.co.uk/kayak-fishing/anchoring/anchor-trolley.htm
@@CornishKayakAngler do they sell to the US?
@@WapiariesAmazon has this exact kit. Thats where I got mine.
