Abstract:
1. A device for quickly anchoring and releasing a boat in shallow water comprising: an anchor sleeve, cylindrical in shape, passing through a boat hull, said anchor sleeve having a top end, a bottom end, a bore extended longitudinally therethrough, an interior peripheral surface, and an exterior peripheral surface; a sleeve liner, cylindrical in shape, having a top end, a bottom end, a bore extended longitudinally therethrough, an interior peripheral surface, an exterior peripheral surface, and a notch machined into one side of the top end of said sleeve liner at a 90 degree angle to said sleeve liner's longitudinal axis extending completely through one side of the top end of the sleeve liner's interior peripheral surface, said sleeve liner positioned within said anchor sleeve; a locking insert, sized to fill the notch machined into one side of the top end of said sleeve liner when said sleeve liner is positioned within said anchor sleeve; an anchor pole, having a top end, a pointed bottom end, and a large flat surface machined along one side of the anchor pole, parallel to the anchor pole's longitudinal axis, said anchor pole sized to allow movement up and down through said sleeve liner; an attaching nut, having a bore extended longitudinally therethrough, an interior peripheral surface, and an exterior peripheral surface, secured to a boat deck and positioned around and attached to the top end of said anchor sleeve; an upper flange, having a bore extended longitudinally therethrough large enough to allow said anchor pole to pass through the bore of said upper flange, said upper flange positioned over said attaching nut and over said anchor sleeve and secured to the top end of said anchor sleeve; a hand grip, wrapped around and secured to the top end of said anchor pole, having a thickness large enough so as to prevent said hand grip from passing through the bore of said upper flange; and a bottom flange, having a bore extended longitudinally therethrough large enough to allow said anchor pole to pass therethrough, and secured to a boat hull bottom.
