Anchor trolley ideas on revo?

Hi boys,

Looking for some ideas how to fit anchor trolley on revo13.
So could you post pictures of yours?

Thanks

On my revo 16 and quest 13 I use separate front and back trolleys, as that allows you to run right to front and back without having trolley rope constantly cutting across deck due to low free board. For rear mounting point I have replaced the rudder bungie down lug with hobies new XL padeye and use that as rear attachment. Front attachment is front handle padeye with center tie downs of trolleys on mid handle. That way its a drill free set up.

At each attachment is tied a short loop of bungie on to which is attached a SS swivel pulley. I use SS clips on the trolleys and cleat anchor rope on yak with a zigzag cleat.

To retrieve in fast flow I feed loose end of anchor rope to front trolley, run up to front and lock that trolley in a V clamp (so it doesn't pull back when I haul on it). Then release rope from zig zag cleat whilst pulling rear trolley forward and unclipping. At this stage anchor rope is effectively already attached to front. Yak tuns into current (careful not to snag rope on fins if it passes under) and I haul on rope and pedal forward to retrieve.

Always better to haul back into seat as if anchor is stuck and suddenly lets go it can otherwise unbalance you.

Having two trolleys also mean you can anchor at back and put drift chute out front at the same time and hold you steady in tide and less susceptible to swinging in the breeze.

To me, an anchor trolley is best designed for your type of fishing. I like mine installed on both sides running the full length of the kayak. I do this because I tend to favor fishing off the left side of my kayak. With a trolley on both sides, running the full length of the kayak, I can anchor in just about any conditions and present the left side of my kayak to where I am fishing. Dual trolley's on each side have an advantage in some situations as well. My biggest concerns with the trolley were that I wanted it to function well, lock out well, and look very clean. I hate those trolleys that loose or sagging. That is just something to get hunf up when in the brush...and it looks half a$$ as well.

I went with a hybrid Hobie/Harken pulleys with the YakAttack Leverloc pad eyes and locking mechanism. I went with the Hobie pulleys because they fit the pre-molded pulley fitting on the PA's and Outbacks. The Harken pulleys that come with the YA Leverlock can be made to work on my PA, but I Hobie pulleys so used them.

Personally I think the LeverLock is the best functioning trolley system you can buy...and I have installed Yak-Gears and own a couple of Hobies anchor trolley...hands down the YA is superior. Again that is my opinion, custom guys can make a good functioning AT for cheap, and it will work very well.
