Recently got a new Revolution... Haven't had it in the water yet but want to get it rigged and ready. Common sense tells me that the pulleys for the anchor trolley should be above the waterline but since I don't know just where the waterline will be (with a load of about 250 pounds) can anyone offer a suggestion regarding how far above or below the hull seam they should go, based on their experience? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I work at a Hobie Dealer and we always install the pulleys right along the line where the deck of the boat meets the hull.
hope this helps :D

You want them as low as possible w/o them sticking out past the edge of the hull. You want to be able to slide down a pylon w/o them catching!

Believe it or not, there is actually a tutorial on how to mount it on YouTube by KayakFishNation.
