The device serves, on pulling in the anchor cable, to first register the anchor shank in a tube which, with the anchor dropped, is pivotally suspended from the forward end of a channel member which is slidably mounted in a fixed channel member on the bow of a small boat. Resilient means normally urges the slidable channel member forward. When the anchor is in fully retrieved position the said tube registers in the slidable channel and the latter is held, against the force of the resilient means, in its rearmost position by the tautened cable. Upon release of the cable, the resilient means forces the slidable channel to its extreme forward position and the momentum thereof causes the tube to slide forward and simultaneously to pivot downward while the anchor shank slides out of the tube.
