ABSTRACT:
A boat anchor rope locking device includes a compact housing through which an anchor rope is threaded. A lever pivoted to this housing has a snubbing end portion which wedges the anchor rope between it and the housing and prevents the rope from playing out when the lever is pivoted in one direction. An actuating end portion of the lever projects above the housing where it is engaged by a foot pedal. When the foot pedal is depressed, the lever pivots in the other direction and releases the snubbing end portion from the rope. The lever is spring biased to return the snubbing end portion into locking engagement with the rope when pressure on the foot pedal is relieved. Also, the snubbing end portion automatically pivots in the other direction when the anchor rope is pulled in to release the rope and permit raising of the anchor as desired.
