Retractable shallow water anchor apparatus, and methods of constructing and utilizing same

摘要

A retractable shallow water anchor system that mounts onto the trolling motor on a boat. The anchor system does not stick up above the top of the trolling motor. When the motor is pulled up or put down, the anchor system travels with it. With the trolling motor down, the user removes the rope from the cleat on the anchor system and two fiberglass rods extend out (extend to 7-8 ft.) to anchor the boat in place. The unit is made of aluminum, stainless steel, and fiberglass.
