OK Big Game anchor trolley

I am finally getting around to rigging a proper anchor trolley for my Big Game (previously I've used the quick release set up the sturgeon guys on NorCal Kayak Anglers pioneered).  My two main goals (after functionality) with this set up are 1) keeping it as neat and clean as possible to reduce loose line and entrapment risk, and 2) making it removable so I can get it out of the way on trips where it is not needed.

Hardware is all stainless (or plastic).  I've used a short section of bungee on the front for shock absorbtion.  I have two jam cleats (one facing forward, the other back) so that I can drop anchor very quickly if I need to (watching logs float down Multnomah Channel at high speed freaked me out this year).

I have not installed any kind of hardware to lock the trolley in position, instead I plan on using the stud that OK installed on the left side for the paddle keeper (note I have removed the keeper bungee... you don't need two of them).

My major problem at this point is that I do not like how messy the lines are.  The trolley lines want to ride up into the cockpit and flop around, and unlike my wife's Prowler 13, the Big Game does not have any line guides on it.  I could install a stainless pad eye, but then the set up would not be removable.  What I am trying for now are two small stainless shackles clipped around the grab handle, with the secondary trolley line (the one without the biner) clipped into them.  Works, but still allows too much flop for my taste, and over time the trolley is going to fray the nylon in the handle.  Alternately, I could also just give up on making it removable.

Any suggestions here would be appreciated!  Here are some photos of what I've come up with thus far:

Hmmm, Looks amazingly like the trolley I concocted for my Ultimate 12. We must have been researching the same info!
Mine is, for now, simply clipped to the grab handles on the bow and stern, and is easily removable  The trolley lines run along the side of my boat, underneath the track (for accessories) that is installed there. The track acts as a barrier to keep the lines from pulling up onto my deck.

I use a clip-on bouy with my anchor spool and anchor attached to that, so I can just unclip from the ring on my trolley if I have to, and go back and retrieve it later. My spool is handmade out of wood, and floats by itself, without the bouy, but still needs the bouy to help find it if you have to come back for it.

I have some eye pads that I am going to attach on the front and rear, on the sides of my boat, below the edge of the deck. That's so I can clip to them instead of my grab handles. I want to free up my handles, as well as make the whole system look better. Looks kinda "hurried last minute afterthought" right now.

You might have to do something a little different for your boat, as my U-12's track system seems to keep the trolley lines from riding up.  I noticed that your attachment points are on the topside of the edge of your deck, and that is probably why your trolley wanders over onto the cockpit. You might need to install some little keeper hooks or guides to keep the lines running along the edge of your deck.

I made a great anchor out of a 4 lb barbell weight with a Subaru axel nut lashed on each side, so it has a  little "grab power."  Works if the current isn't really bad, then it drags. Good 'nuff for me, as I don't like to anchor in strong current, anyway.

By the way, logs floating down rivers are indeed very dangerous for anchored fishers, and I use an "anchor lift" and buoy system on my power boat. Without that buoy in between, a stealthy log that suddenly hits your anchor line can sink your bow, shattering your daydream and causing much mayhem or disaster, when you are fishing and looking downstream. Even with the bouy setup, you can get screwed, but it gives you more time for damage control. Look upstream as much as possible, at short intervals. Maybe every 20 or 30 seconds.

ThreeWeight, You mentioned in another thread about having a sharp knife at ready, so that you can cut a line in an instant, if you have to. A must have...to be safe out there!
