- the anchor base rigidly coupled to at least one anchor line attachment loop for at least one boat anchor line secured to the at least one anchor line attachment loop with the anchor base housing having the storage cavity integrated with the at least one anchor fluke;
- the boat anchor line coupled to the anchor line attachment loop attached to a release mechanism to unload the added weight matter within the anchor storage cavity, and
