ABSTRACT:
An anchor retriever for deploying an anchor from a boat into the water and for retrieving the anchor from the water includes a base portion having a metal plate for attachment directly to the boat and a synthetic material guide providing a sliding channel arrangement for a movable carriage. Pivotally attached to the movable carriage is an anchor retention assembly which provides the actual anchor holder portion which pivots from a substantially horizontal to a substantially vertical orientation as the anchor goes from a stowed orientation to a deployed orientation into the water. When the anchor is retrieved it applies force on certain portions of the retriever assembly, these portions are then allowed to come out of locking engagement whereby the anchor retention assembly pivots from its vertical orientation to its horizontal orientation as it goes from a deployed condition to a stowed condition. A pair of stops disposed as part of the base portion controls the movement of the movable carriage which is spring-biased relative to the base portion.
