No pictures I am afraid as I am land locked and the boat is down in Dorset. To explain the trip cable has two loops with the front one secured to the shackle through the trip eye of the anchor. The cable is laid taught along the anchor shaft and secured with small weak cable ties every few inches. The cable is secured tightly to the anchor eye with heavy cable tie 10mm wide and ends in a loop which is marginally longer than the anchor to which a anchor swivel is secured. Under normal conditions the load on the anchor is along the axis of the anchor shaft and is taken by the the shackle and the heavy cable tie in combination. Should the anchor foul motor up towards it which breaks the heavy cable tie at the rear of the anchor together with the weak ties that bind it to the shaft . You are now connected to the trip eye only and can pull it out. I might add my boat is only about a ton so for heavier boats you may need more than one heavy cable ties at the rear of the anchor. What have you got to lose (a few cable ties). Hope this helps Richard

Hi All, I tried to fit one similar on my Cap Camarat I could not get the screw undone so sent it back. Turns out screws are locked in with a type of lock tight. Made my own extension pieces and a Bow plate from 3mm 316 Stainless Steel. Nylon rollers of varying widths and diameters are available from Sea screw I'll send some photos when I get down to the boat. Mikey B
