Boating on lakes and rivers with fluctuating water levels can create a challenge when you're trying to maintain your desired temporary mooring position.

May 1, 2006

Boating on lakes and rivers with fluctuating water levels can create a challenge when you're trying to maintain your desired temporary mooring position. Adjust-A-Anchor is an innovative portable mooring system that makes perfectly positioning your boat an easy task with its cam-clamping system. Instead of having to pull anchor and reposition your boat whenever the water level rises or falls, simply slide the Adjust-A-Anchor clamp along the anchor line. According to the company, it's all that's required to maintain the perfect depth and distance to shore. Even along unfamiliar shorelines, you'll be able to position your boat right where you want it. If you want to go skiing, wakeboarding, etc., just unclip your craft and go enjoy your activities - and return later for easy docking. The two highly visible (orange or yellow) fluorescent buoys let you spot your mooring quickly and easily, while alerting other boaters to your anchor line location. The Adjust-A-Anchor is sold with two fully assembled, adjustable mooring lines, as well as two buoys. Retails for $169.99. (714) 996-0484, www.adjust-a-anchor.com.
