Installation uses your existing bow handle: remove it, place the QuickStop over the holes, reinstall the handle and fasten it with the longer screws provided. A rolling pulley lets the anchor line run smoothly. It works with the anchor of your choice, and a mushroom or ball anchor is recommended.

Specs at a glance

  • Fits: Kayaks with a horizontal bow handle
  • Includes: Rolling pulley and longer mounting screws
  • Recommended anchor: Mushroom or ball style
  • Anchor: Not included

Good to know

  • Check your bow handle orientation first, since this version is for horizontal handles and a vertical version is sold separately.
  • Budget for an anchor and line, since neither is included.

KayakDIY take: Anchoring off the bow keeps you facing the wind and makes holding a spot a lot calmer. For more options, see my kayak anchor system guide.
