Anchor Trolley Install

As most of us probably do I have slowed down a bit with the fishing but I simply can not stop thinking about it. I recently purchased a shallow water anchor and had been using the scupper hole as my hold when anchored. It worked ok but I opted for the 8 footer so you can imagine in 5 feet of water I had a good 2 feet sticking through the boat! So a trolley was a neccasary addition. I had been looking a good bit and there are some really nice systems out there. Then I got to thinking..... It is really just some pulleys, a ring, and some cord.... Heck I had 2/3rds of that in my garage! The rest was readily available at my local hardware store. I figured with my outings being mostly fresh water nickel plated hardware would be perfect. I picked up two pulleys and a 1 1/2 in ring and started playing with the setup. The coosa has several pad eyes on either side for the dog lease drag chain system so I was hopeful that I could do another no holes install. After setting it up I quickly found that an extra pad eye was going to be a must to get the trolley to line up properly. I had a pad eye and again started playing with placement. Once I was satisfied I marked my holes and drilled them using a 3/16 bit. Applied a little goop and tightened it down with stainless screws and lock nuts. I used 1/8 bungee to tie the pulleys to the pad eyes to give the trolley a little give. Ran my 550 cord and secured my ring to both ends. Trimmed off all my excess and melted the cuts to prevent any fraying. In the end I now have a fully functioning anchor trolley for less than 10 bucks...
