The means at the outboard end of the U-shaped frame for providing chafe protection of the anchor line and for providing captivity of the anchor comprises a smooth round rod. The round rod forms an arcuate shape above and between the sides of the U-shaped frame, extends downwardly along respective edges of the sides and further extends a predetermined distance below said sides and forms an arcuate shape in a direction toward the rear of the U-shaped frame, ending at a respective opposite edge of an extended vertical portion of the sides which extends below the flat bottom portion. The rod is welded to the edges of the sides with which the rod is in contact and the arcuate shape formed above and between the sides of the U-shaped frame serves as a bail for captivating the anchor line or the shank of the anchor.
