H2o Kayaks Anchor Trolley Kit
Congratulations on deciding to install the H2o Kayaks Anchor Trolley Kit. These instructions will serve as a reference for installation. More detailed installation video is available at www.youtube “anchor trolley kayak”.
Please read all instructions prior to fitting in order to decide which steps are applicable to YOUR BOAT
CAUTION: Every effort has been made to ensure these instructions will guide the successful installation of your new anchor trolley kit, however, the process may require permanent alteration to your kayak. Be safe and measure twice before proceeding with any step requiring drilling into the hull. If you are uncomfortable with any part of this process do not proceed.
CAUTION: ANCHORING A KAYAK IN STRONG CURRENTS, WAVES OR HIGH WINDS IS NOT ADVISABLE AND COULD LEAD TO SWAMPING. ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE AND ALWAYS BE PREPERED TO PULL UP ANCHOR OR EVEN DITCH ANCHOR USING CABLE TIE WEAK LINK METHOD.
PARTS LIST: 9 m Trolley Line, 1 x Round Rigging Ring, 1 x Zig Zag Cleat, 2 x Pad Eyes, 2x Snap Hooks, 2 x Pulleys, Mounting Hardware 6 x Rivets (option) 6 nuts bolts, instructions.
TOOLS REQUIRED:,Cordless Drill, Safety Glasses, 5mm Drill Bit, Cross head screw driver, Wrench Socket, Scissors, Marker Pen and lighter (Optional Rivet Gun)
STEP 1: Gather Tools and Kit and position kayak at easy working height. Locate mounting position for the two pad eyes roughly 30cm to 45cm from the bow and stern of kayak which will represent the terminal position of your trolley system. Mark the hole positions with marking pen (double check before drilling) NOTE FOR EASE OF USE, THE MOUNTING LOCATION SHOULD BE AS FAR ABOVE THE WATERLINE AS POSSIBLE.
STEP 2: Drill out the two mounting holes for each pad eye. When all four holes are drilled, screw through kayak and tighten the nyloc nut and washer from inside kayak. If you are unable to reach to tighten screw use rivets. NOTE A SMALL BEAD OF SILICON APPLIED TO HOLE BEFORE MOUNTING WILL PROVIDE EXTRA WATER PROOFING.
STEP 3: With the pad eyes in place, locate the Zig Zag cleat in position; this will serve as the locking mechanism for the system. You want the cleat to be easily accessible from your normal seated position... so hop in your boat and find a place that works for you. Mark the hole positions, and mount in the same fashion as pad eyes above.
STEP 4: With the permanent hardware now in place, clip the pulleys into snap hooks and rotate them so they are on the smaller of the two round ends. Attach the snap hooks onto pad eyes with the spring gate facing up and the pulleys facing towards kayak centre.
STEP 5: Feed your rope, from top to bottom, through the pulleys at each end. Using a bowline (or similar knot) , tie one end of rope to the round rigging ring. Now pull the two ends until they join in the centre of your kayak and tie the other end of the rope to the round ring. NOTE to ensure the trolley line maintains taut, you may need to disconnect one snap hook from pad eye before tying second knot.
Using the H2o Kayaks Anchor Trolley System:
By pulling the upper line of your Anchor Trolley Kit, the rigging ring (with attached anchor, drift chute or stake out pole) will move forward or aft to hold your boat in position.
The use of the Zig Zag is the quickest and easiest way to lock (and unlock) the system. Simlply lace your line through the cleat to hold it in place.
