Setting an
anchor
Oregon State Marine Board guidelines recommend paying out anchor
line a minimum of seven times the depth of water.
Then apply Orval's EZ Pull.
How to
install Orval's EZ Pull™
Hold the device in your left hand with the slot facing to the
right, use your left thumb to depress the lever down.
Lay the anchor line in the slot, beginning at the roller end. The line
snaps in and under both line locks with a little pull on the
rope and a slight twist on
Orval's EZ Pull™.
You're now ready to toss the line overboard with the puller and
buoy in-place. Pay out some more line and secure the line to
the bow.
Lifting &
retrieving an anchor
Move the vessel forward till the line is tight and the
anchor has lifted clear of the bottom. You're now able to lift
and retrieve using the boat's forward motion at a nominal speed.
Pulling crab pots
Pull along side the buoy and retrieve the pot buoy and some
line; place Orval's EZ Pull™ on the crab pot line (as described
above) with the attached puller buoy. Give Orval's EZ Pull™ its buoy and some slack line in the water. You're now able to
retrieve using the boat's forward motion at a nominal speed.
Removing
Orval's EZ Pull™
Grasp the rope about 8" to 10" below the roller end, fold
it back into the slot and give it a pull toward you. |
