Abstract: A crab processor is adapted to be supported by a bucket defining a rim and an inner diameter, the crab processor comprising a main portion, a first support portion, and a second support portion. The first and second portions are attached to the main portion such that the first and second support portions define first and second portions of the main portion and a distance defined by the second portion of the main portion is less than the inner diameter of the bucket. The first and second support portions engage the rim of the bucket to support the crab processor in a desired orientation relative to the bucket.

Abstract: An anchor rope lock that locks the rope in response to tension exerted by the anchor, and that unlocks the rope for retrieval or adjustment in response to tension applied to the free end. A locking shoe is mounted on a horizontal pivot axis for pivoting towards locked and unlocked positions. The rope passes under a lower surface of the shoe and upwardly through a passage in a projecting toe portion. As the shoe pivots towards the locked position, the lower surface of the shoe moves towards the upper surface of an underlying base plate so as to compress the rope, and the passage in the toe of the shoe moves towards a vertical orientation so as to force the rope into a bend so that the anchor rope is held firmly at a fixed length.
