ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for helping to ascertain the precise site at which a boat anchor should be dropped in order to secure a sought position of the anchored boat. The apparatus is comprised of a floating reel member having a spool which holds a length of line. A weight having a streamlined contour is attached to the free end of the line. A visibly distinctive buoy is attached to the reel by a tether line. When the apparatus is thrown into the water, the weight rapidly sinks to the bottom, whereupon no further line leaves the spool. The buoy indicates the location the boat would have relative to its anchor as represented by the streamlined weight.
