Scotty #276 Anchor Lock w/ #241 Side Deck Mount, Black

Best way to deploy and retrieve your anchor. Easy to mount and use. I love it.

Excellent product. Makes fishing so much easier in kayak.

I started out by purchasing one Anchor Lock with a flush mount and two Rod Holders with side mounts. I've loved them all. The Anchor Lock works great, with smooth and efficient operation put together in a VERY sturdy platform. Using 3/8" solid braid, deploying and retrieving my bow anchor is a breeze with one hand. On top of that, I could potentially move the Anchor Lock to any of the Side Mounts or any of the Rod Holders to bow Flush Mount position of the Anchor Lock. And did I say they're sturdy? I don't think you could destroy these if you tried. That being said, you'll want to take them off and stow them when covering your boat. But no worries, because though you could most likely drag your boat down an asphalt road by them when they're secured (I won't be testing my hypothesis), removal and adjustment are a piece of cake. 1.5 seconds. Tops. Literally. If you happen to choose to leave them on, don't worry, these will be around loooong after you're gone because they are essentially corrosion-proof. I'm currently writing this review because I'm just about to purchase another Anchor Lock with Flush Mount, and two more Rod Holders with Side Mounts! This will total 4 of the best Rod Holders and 2 of the best Anchor Locks money can buy on my skiff and I couldn't be happier. Purchase with the utmost confidence.

I’m actually super impressed with this product, hard as hell to install since the bolts aren’t glued into the backing plate which slide out once you put pressure on the screw. One nut which I'm still devising on my approach to that fell out of the plate. Now that i know this im telling you guys to glue the bolts in place or something to the backing plate if hard to reach area like I'm dealing with. ALSO!!!!!!! They don't tell you, YOU need to buy their backing plate as well when you buy this!!! Or theirs nothing for the included screws to attach to unless you go to a hardware store and buy the correct nuts they don’t include.

Works great. Fast and easy to use.

The item functions like a dream, a good dream. You lift the rope in the back up it unlocks and you can let out or pull in line. The picture is a little decieving I believe though. The mechinism isn't a simple hammer that falls backwards onto the rope. The hammer actually has a hole in it through which the rope passes over down and out the back. Back to front is the direction for which the hammer falls and is shapped from front to back like a backward L. There are opposing teeth on the bottom of the hammer about 3/4 to an inch (surface area) wide and teeth on the bottom of the housing opposing in the opposide direction of the same width. The teeth are are about 1 1/2 mm appart maybe a little less but they grip something fierce. The mechinism and the base are seporate pieces. The top piece can be put into the base at any degree of rotation and is locked in place, in other words the top must be removed, rotated, and placed back in it does not rotate freely. Mine came with no hardware for attachment and takes 4 screws. The screw head can be of varying size. All in all I am very pleased with the product. This was custom mounted onto a creek company sport lt pontoon boat 8' one man inflatable. The mounting went very well and looks very nice. If you would like to know how I did't it or want a picture reply or shoot me a message.

This works awesomely. Holds my bass boat in place.

Seems to be built good and looks like a good product. I didn’t realize but this doesn’t come with any hardware to install. Would’ve been nice if they had put in the pictures and description that it doesn’t come with the hardware. Would be nice to see in the future that they add it or at least put recommendations on what products to use to install. Other similar options come with hardware. Not sure what is best to use, I’m worried it might cause a leak in my kayak if I just get random bolts from hardware store.
