Jackson Coosa River Anchor rigging.

So after 3 season of using a drift chain on my Coosa I finally broke down and got a pyramid anchor setup. I looked at a lot of ideas for anchor setups, but the none of them would really work well on the Coosa. I started looking around the shop for things that I could make work and I came up with this idea. Using a 8" Yak Attack Track to mount on the flat part of the stern. From there I installed a Scotty Mount using two Yak Attack Mighty mounts on T slots. This created a pretty secure way to add an anchor, and also a system that was easy to slide on and off in the matter of seconds. After toying with the anchor I decided to add a Scotty Mini extension to raise it up out of the water more, and then I added a line to secure the system and to prevent to much torque on the Scotty system. I then added a few guides, a pulley and a cleat to make it easy to raise and lower. Very happy with how it came out. I will take it out this weekend and let you know how it works.

Nice clean setup

Question ... is that Scotty anchor lock still locking?  The concern is if it will engage if you let the rope loose in an emergency situation.

Very clean looking Dan!!

I like the yak attack rail thingy back there....I could see having that mounted, and then setting up a sliding dive flag mount that I could take on and off as needed.

 

Thanks for sharing!!

Very nice.

I just took the lock out all together. I forgot to post that part. All I have to do is release the rope and the whole system just slips out.

BINGO!  That's what I was hoping you'd say.  That setup looks slick.

Looks good Dan.

You pound those corners flat on the anchor? Good idea. Or someone has a hole in the foot. hehehe

One of my customers gave me this idea to better secure the system. A turnbuckle that allows me to put tension on the anchor lock and keep it from flexing.

Great idea.

Nice setup Dan.

I like it Dan, but what I really want to know is, where did you get that black shackle?
