Small Anchor Pully for Transom
I'm in the midst of refinishing at boat built from a Tatman kit as a HS graduation present about 17 years ago. It's never had an anchor pulley as the owner simply tied the anchor line off on the gunnel and tossed it overboard. Very old school and it works. I want to put in a pulley system like I've seen at the McKenzie River Wooden Boat Festival. I want a short/small aft pulley, not a long arm like the Dierks or Bo's. I saw some that were in what looked like a cast aluminum bracket that bolted onto the transom. The casting was about 4" in diameter. I plan on installing a copper pipe thru hull fitting and a 90 degree inside the transom to route the anchor line alone the frames to forward of the rowing seat and install a jam cleat by the rowing seat for convenience.
For the life of me I cannot find a small pulley like I described above. If anyone can steer me toward a source for that kind of pully, and the others for that matter, I'd really appreciate it.
Regards, Mike Layne

One method is to use halyard turning block(s) (sailing hardware), which was used by Jason at Montana Boat Builders on his early boats.
You need two, one on the interior transom face and one on the exterior.

Thanks Eric, I really appreciate the idea.
I also wrote to Randy Dersham who might know where I could get one like he has on the older Tatman boats. If not, the halyard turning blocks will work just fine.
