Anchor Systems

[gunflint]

Does anyone know of a good anchoring system where you can raise and lower an anchor from the back of a tiller? I've seen homemade systems using trailer handcranks but I was looking for something that doesn't look like the old "Mousetrap" game from the 60s. Thanks

Look up some of the drift boat sites. They will probably have some information on rigs used on trout fishing drift boats. Simple (basically jam cleats) and easy to use. Look for Hyde or Clackacraft etc.
