ABSTRACT:
A shank-mounted reverse pull slide and slide stop to effect release of a fouled anchor. The device can be readily mounted on a substantially solid, conventional twin fluke anchor shank without altering the structural integrity of the shank. The slide housing has interior wall surfaces which are shaped to provide a shank contact portion and a plurality of passages between the shank surface and the slide housing walls to prevent sand and other marine grit from jamming or restricting movement of the slide along the shank in a marine environment. The slide stop is mounted within the conventional shank line receiving aperture or eye and includes a shear pin receiving channel. When utilized with a shear pin, the slide is locked near the shank free end and cannot move along the shank until the shear pin is severed. Without the shear pin, the slide is moveable between the slide stop and the shank end connected to the crown. The shear pin is easily installed or removed to accommodate either mode of operation.
