An anchor which secures a floating boat dock in position and which can be installed and removed easily from the dock for seasonal use. A base is permanently installed on the bottom of a lake and has a spherical ball projecting upwards from the base. A post has a socket formed in the bottom end which is provided with a pivotally mounted flap for capturing and releasing the spherical ball therein to removably mount the post on the base. A lever is attached to the upper end of the post and is connected to the flap for moving it between open and closed position. The post is loosely connected to the dock permitting limited movement of the dock with respect to the post. The post is movable on the spherical ball of the base permitting limited movement of the dock and post due to wave action reducing damage and fatigue on the anchor and dock. The lever is operated from the dock to attach and disconnect the post to and from the base enabling easy seasonal placement and removal of the dock after the initial installation of the bases.
