Claim:
An assembly for moving one or more decoys above a floor of a body of water, the assembly comprising: two posts securable to the floor, the two posts connected to one another by one or more slide rails, wherein the two posts each comprise a rotation initiation bar and timing pins coupled below the one or more slide rails and wherein at least one post comprises a pulley; a decoy carrier slidably coupled to the one or more slide rails, the decoy carrier comprising: (1) a rotatably-mounted gear coupled below the decoy carrier, wherein the rotatably-mounted gear is oriented to engage the rotation initiation bar and timing pins on each post and (2) coupled above the decoy carrier to the rotatably-mounted gear, one or more decoy attachment arms for attachment to the one or more decoys; pull lines connected to the decoy carrier and wrapped around a rotatable reel, wherein the pull lines are wrapped around opposite directions of the rotatable reel such that rotating the reel clockwise winds a first pull line and unwinds a second pull line, and wherein at least one of the pull lines extends around the pulley such that clockwise rotation of the reel slides the decoy carrier connected to the pull lines in a first direction along the one or more slide rails and counter-clockwise rotation slides the decoy carrier connected to the pull lines in a second direction along the one or more slide rails.
