Hi All,
I am new to the forum and have enjoyed reading about all the ongoing boat projects. I recently purchased a 14 ft Polar Kraft Aluminum Boat. I have been working on it for a little bit as the weather gets warmer. I have an anchor lift n lock that I want to install on the bow, but I have a question as to how to operate it from the last bench seat in the boat. I have an 18 lb river anchor attached to a 100 ft of polypropylene rope. Do you run the line along the side of the boat or down the center of the boat to the last bench seat. Also do I need to add additional pulleys. Being that the mount is in the bow, the rope has to turn inward to line up with the pulley. I will have a Minn Kota 55 electric motor so I will be mostly sitting on the rear bench seat. I have attached some pictures for everyone to see. Looking forward to your input.
