Question for you hali guys.I want to start setting the pick but dont have an anchor guide on my bow. I only have a central cleat right up near the tip of the bow behind the nav light. Can i get away without one? Or rig something up without drilling? I would think i can run a longer rope from the scottsman to the bow so the angle is gradual and there is not much rubbing on the lip or slide something under the rope to minimize it.

You could slice a length of hose lengthwise, through one side, and snap it over the line once set. Might help.

Ya i was even thinking just cutting a foot long section of pool noodle in half and then just slide it under the rope when set. Other than making life easier is the roller really necessary if your not doing this often?
Don't anchor with a line hard fast to the bow. Have a line on the bow eye (the same one you use to pull on the trailer). Have it long enough to go to the rear of the boat and tie off to a rear cleat. Your anchor line section from the boat to the Scotsman will attach to this with a quick release stainless snap. It will slide on the rope forward and aft. The boat will sit in the current with the rope at the bow, and will slide to the back as you go to pull up the anchor. Nebard it pulls the anchor and is a must. You try and pull 500 feet of rope with chain and anchor by hand in a strong current without it. You will only do it once.

You don't need any fancy anchor pulling device attached to the scotsman. A simple stainless 5" ring will do. Run the anchor line through the stainless ring. You will need a piece of chain on the anchor that is long and heavy. Use the boat to pull the anchor line. When you pull the chain up through the ring and the anchor touches the ball, the long chain will hang down in the water keeping the anchor floating just below the scotsman. Always pull anchor into the wind or current so your boat will drift back to the scotsman/anchor as you retrive the line by hand.
Nebard2 - the 'bouy', or 'scotsman', floating on the water at the bow will also let other boaters know you are anchored up, at a glance.

ok, so your just tying a rope from the bow to a rear cleat to use sort of like a track/rail. Then attached to this is your anchor line which freely slides along it. There is no direct connection from the bow line to the anchor.
Then if there's trouble, by undoing this bow line the anchor line will slide off the end. Otherwise, the snap release is used.
Then, the scotsman is just attached to the anchor line via. a ring or line puller.

You got it !
You can also disconnect and then go back to the same spot easily too with the scotsman. I use a bent piece of rerbar lashed (with ss wire)to the rope just a foot up from the chain. The bent end towards the chain. The ring about (3 to 4 inch ss) slides over the rope and rebar then gets caught behind the bent section when you stop pulling. Cheap and safer than the plastic anchor pullers.
thanks for the patience, makes sense now

I like learning new ideas, but not sure I quite understand your home made anchor puller set up.. so when retrieving the anchor the ring will only get locked into place once the chain is all the way up to the top and the ring has locked onto the piece of rebar? so if you have to stop half way in case of an emergency or some thing while pulling the anchor it will sink back down ? not sure I like that ... now with only a ring on your rope.. how does your Scotchman stay in place on the rope while being anchored and not slide all the way up to your boat?? I assume your Scotchman is attached to your ring with the anchor rope running through the ring ?

"wearing" your knife is not a bad idea, I was on a friends boat years ago with his dad and they were pulling the anchor and it was not all the way up to the buoy when they were retrieving it, we drifted into shallow waters the anchor re hooked as we were pulling the rope, the rope got wrapped around his leg and the full pressure of the boat and current was directly on his leg pinning him to the boat floor and the inside of the boat wall all most pulling him in.. it all happened so quick... he was wearing his pocket knife on his belt, he got it out quickly and cut the anchor rope ! It can happen, I witness it with my own eyes.. there was no time to go searching for a knife.. a lot of lessons were learned from that trip.

I heard this b4 and was wondering what line you're gonna cut and why?
Would the line caught in the prop be the one? 'cause that would be a biach jumping in the water 2 some ft under in the flying current, not sure how easy that would be.
cheers

Rock..the Scotsman comes up against a big shackle at the boat end of the main anchor line. I use a SS snap at both ends of the surface line between the Scotsman and the boat. One snap on the shackle and one on the bow to stern cleat rope. You are right the anchor will drop back if you don't take it past the rebar. Lets say my engine quits half way up while pulling...simply unsnap and drift away. I've heard that the plastic pullers will simply start to stick and the anchor will fall back quite some distance before the bolt jams and stops it. This seems dangerous as if it falls far enough and hooks up, you won't know this has happened until the rope gets tight under the boats weight. To each his own but a would rather deal with an emergency I know about then one that sneaks up on me.

So you do have a surface line between the boat and the buoy/shackle...ok, got it. I've never heard that before with the plastic/bolt style anchor pullers sticking. We've been using one for years and never had a problem with slippage or it not holding the weight of the anchor when retrieving.. The bolt has lots of play I can not see it getting sticky and not pinching down on the rope.. we'll that's good to know, some thing I will remember to watch out for.... Thanks.
