ANCHOR TROLLEY SYSTEM
The SlideTrax Anchor Trolley System is mounted on
one side of hull. This system can be repositioned to
other side of hull if desired. The system features two
pulleys to provide smooth easy operation, a 2"
nylon ring to accommodate use of a setting pole in
shallow waters with sandy soft bottoms, and a
stainless carabiner to serve as a guide or fairlead for
your anchor line.
Use caution as you become accustomed to your
anchor trolley system and pay attention to water
and weather conditions while in use.
Sudden changes in conditions could make
anchoring at a selected location or orientation
hazardous as well as make it difficult to retrieve
anchor safely.
TO SET UP YOUR ANCHOR
TROLLEY SYSTEM:
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove screw
holding the rail end cap at bow of boat to
insert base plates for bow-positioned
accessories. At stern end, it will be necessary to
reach inside of boat to hold rubber wellnut
while removing screw. Retain hardware for
reinstallation of end cap.
2. Install three (3) SlideTrax fittings on side rail.
One will be placed at each end of track to serve
as end points for trolley system and the other is
to be positioned just behind seat and will serve
as a lock down for trolley when you determine
desired deployment of anchor. You may have to
loosen and remove any SlideTrax fittings in
place between end of rail and desired location
for this fitting. Note that fitting has one side
more rounded than the other. Orient fittings so
that rounded side faces down.
3. Remove brass plate from fitting, insert into end
of rail and slide to desired position. Align end
of screw in SlideTrax fitting over brass plate
and tighten securely.
4. Install two (2) SlideTrax fittings near each end of
side SlideTrax rail, orienting molded fittings so
that lacing hole in fitting faces down. Re-install
the end caps on ends of rail.

ANGLER EDITION

5. Thread 12" of static cord through SlideTrax
fitting and through top bar on pulley. Tie off
securely. Singe end with lighter or matches
to prevent fraying. Repeat for opposite end of
boat.
6. Thread balance of static line through pulleys
and bring ends to center of boat. Adjust line so
that ends are equal. Route cord so that it runs
under the SlideTrax rail. The other SlideTrax
fittings installed on the rail will help guide and
retain the cord.
7. If desired, a length of elastic bungee cord is
provided to allow for adjustable tension in the
trolley cord. This can be eliminate or minimize
slap of the trolley system against hull of boat
potentially frightening fish. If you wish to use
this feature, tie off bungee cord into a loop.
Push end of loop around 2" setting pole ring
and feed opposite end of bungee loop through
it so that ring is captured. If you opt to dispense
with bungee loop, simply tie off end of cord to
the setting pole ring.
8. Loop one end of cord through opposite end of
bungee cord loop and tie off securely.
9. Run opposite end of cord through base of
carabiner. Clip carabiner to setting pole ring and
draw cord to desired tension. Cord should be
taut enough to tension the pulleys against the
bungee cord but not drum tight. Tie off cord to
carabiner with secure knot such as a bowline
and cut off excess cord. Singe end with lighter
or matches to prevent fraying.
10. You can move the position of the setting pole
ring and carabiner forward or back along hull by
pulling on cord next to seat. To lock position on
hull, grasp line and wrap around the SlideTrax
fitting installed earlier.
