Abstract
A kayak anchor support system includes a first support arm having a first end opposite a second end, wherein the first support arm is removably securable to a kayak via at least one mounting bracket. A proximal end of a second support arm is affixed to the first support arm adjacent to the first end. The second support arm extends orthogonally from the first support arm such that a distal end of the second support arm is maintained in an elevated position above the kayak. A pulley is affixed to the distal end of the second support arm. An anchor cable is engaged with each of the pulley and a reel, wherein the reel is disposed opposite the pulley. An anchor is affixed to a terminal end of the anchor cable, whereupon actuation of the reel, the anchor is selectively movable between a raised position and a lowered positioned.
Claims16
A kayak anchor support, comprising:
- a first support arm having a first end opposite a second end;
- comprising a pair of cutouts disposed through a lower side of the first support arm, wherein the pair of cutouts operably engage a pair of retention bars affixed to the kayak;
- wherein the first support arm is removably securable to a kayak via at least one mounting bracket;
- a second support arm, wherein a proximal end of the second support arm is affixed to the first support arm adjacent to the first end;
- wherein the second support arm extends orthogonally from the first support arm such that a distal end of the second support arm is maintained in an elevated position above the kayak;
- an upper member, wherein a proximal end of the upper member is affixed to the support member adjacent to the first end;
- a pulley affixed to the distal end of the upper member;
- wherein an upper portion of the second support arm is angled outwardly towards the first end of the first support arm such that the distal end is disposed in a coplanar relationship with the first end;
- further comprising a brace affixed to each of the first and second support arms, wherein the brace extends between the second end of the first support arm and a central portion of the second support arm;
- a pulley affixed to the distal end of the second support arm;
- an anchor cable engaged with each of the pulley and a reel, wherein the reel is disposed opposite the pulley;
- an anchor is affixed to a terminal end of the anchor cable;
- whereupon actuation of the reel, the anchor is selectively movable between a raised position and a lowered position.
A kayak anchor support system, comprising:
- a front kayak anchor support system and a rear kayak anchor support system;
- wherein the front kayak anchor support system comprises:
- a first support arm having a first end opposite a second end;
- wherein the first support arm is removably securable to a front end of a kayak via at least one mounting bracket;
- a second support arm, wherein a proximal end of the second support arm is affixed to the first support arm adjacent to the first end;
- wherein the second support arm extends orthogonally from the first arm such that a distal end of the second support arm is maintained in an elevated position above the kayak;
- a first pulley affixed to the distal end of the second support arm;
- a first anchor cable engaged with each of the first pulley and a front reel, wherein the front reel is disposed opposite the first pulley;
- a front anchor is affixed to a terminal end of the first anchor cable;
- whereupon actuation of the front reel, the front anchor is selectively movable between a raised position and a lowered position;
- wherein the rear kayak anchor support system comprises:
- a support member having a first end opposite a second end;
- wherein the support member is removably securable to a rear end of the kayak via at least one mounting bracket;
- an angled upper member, wherein a proximal end of the upper member is affixed to the support member adjacent to the first end of the support member;
- wherein the upper member extends rearwardly from the support member at an angle such that a distal end of the upper member is maintained in an elevated position above the kayak;
- wherein the upper member extends perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the support member;
- a second pulley affixed to the distal end of the upper member;
- a second anchor cable engaged with each of the second pulley and a rear reel, wherein the rear reel is disposed opposite the second pulley;
- a rear anchor is affixed to a terminal end of the second anchor cable;
- whereupon actuation of the rear reel, the rear anchor is selectively movable between a raised position and a lowered position.
