Rope :wink: Sorry, couldn't resist. You can buy cleats for a few bucks. On smaller boats I like the ones you just weave the rope through a few times, no tying required.
Ditto. I have mine mounted on the bow, and love the convenience of not having to tie the rope off.. allthough I do have the end of the anchor rope secured to the boat. Just in case it don't lock and I don't know it's slipping..
