Abstract:
1. A mount used with a shallow water anchoring system secured to a boat and having an extendable anchoring pole, fasteners, and an independent rod having a length dimension longer than that of the extendable anchoring pole, said mount comprising: a generally rectangular block mounting device having opposed ends and four sides positioned contiguous with one another; a first longitudinal bore extending between and through said opposed ends; a second longitudinal bore extending between and through said opposed ends at a spaced-apart distance from said first longitudinal bore and substantially parallel to said first longitudinal bore; at least two threaded bores through one of said sides of said block mounting device, each of said at least two threaded bores having an interior end in communication with said first longitudinal bore; at least two additional threaded bores through one of said sides of said block mounting device, each of said at least two additional threaded bores having an interior end in communication with said second longitudinal bore, wherein when the extendable anchoring pole of a shallow water anchoring system is inserted into said first longitudinal bore and fasteners are inserted into said at least two threaded bores and tightened, and when an independent rod longer than the extendable anchoring pole is inserted into said second longitudinal bore and fasteners are inserted into said additional threaded bores and tightened, and further when the lower end of the independent rod has been positioned below the extendable anchoring pole of the shallow water anchoring system, the independent rod becomes an extension for the anchoring pole in depths of water that exceeds the intended reach of the shallow water anchoring system; further comprising a stabilizer mount having two open ended stabilizer bores positioned at a spaced-apart distance from one another, with a first of said stabilizer bores having a diameter dimension similar to said first bore of said block mounting device and containing said extendable anchoring pole, and a second of said stabilizer bores having a diameter dimension similar to said second bore of said block mounting device and containing said independent rod, with said stabilizer bores also spaced apart from one another at the same distance that said first bore of said block mounting device is separated from said second bore, said stabilizer mount also having an open-ended fastener bore communicating with one of said stabilizer bores.
