Abstract: A self-securing, vertically mounted marine anchor stowage device may comprise a bracket, forming a generally U-shaped channel and having an alignment guide designed and configured to capture the shaft of a marine anchor, a plurality of mounting slots which, in coordination with mounting hardware such as U-bolts, washers and nuts, enable the anchor stowage device to be mounted to a vessel, and a plurality of adjustment slots which, in coordination with bolt, washer and wing nut combinations, provides a means of adjustably mounting one or more rollers within the U-shaped channel, the bolts forming axes about which the rollers may rotate, the anchor stowage device being designed and configured to accommodate vertical stowage of an anchor by capturing the shaft of the anchor between the bracket and the one or more rollers, the anchor being held in the stowed condition solely by the force of gravity.

Abstract: A universal adjustable deck fill lid key may comprise a handle and a slide, the handle and the slide each mounting one small pin and one large pin, and the slide being slidably mounted on the handle in a manner that enables a user to position the slide along the handle such that either the small pins or the large pins may engage the holes of a two-hole deck fill lid to enable the key to remove or re-install the deck fill lid in a wrench-like manner. In one embodiment, the universal deck fill lid key may additionally incorporate a slot head to enable the key to interface with and operate a slotted deck fill lid. In another embodiment, the universal deck fill lid key may additionally incorporate a drive nut to enable the key to interface with and operate a socket deck fill lid.

Abstract: A weighted chisel-shaped tip is attached to a generally triangular and concave fluke. Extensions are attached to either side of the fluke, proximal to the aft edge and extending outward from the centerline of the fluke. A roll bar is attached to the extensions. A shaft is attached along the centerline of the top of the fluke, extending perpendicularly from and forward of the top of the fluke. The shaft provides an attach point for an anchor rode. A plurality of fasteners enables assembly and disassembly of the marine anchor.
