I haven't use a trip line on my anchor before, partly because my anchor wasn't set up for it, and I've never had my anchor get stuck.

My new anchor allows me to do this. My one question is, it looks like it'll interfere when the anchor is pulled all the way up against the bow pulpit.



From my understanding, I'll attach the swivel to the forward hole, not where I have it now. Then attach the chain with some heavy duty zip ties to the rear hole, so they can break away and let me pull the anchor straight up if its stuck?

Any ideas on how to make sure the screws don't back out of the swivel? I put them on their with red loctite, but on my previous setup I had a shackle, and was able to run a piece of wire through it to be sure the screw couldn't back out.

I think the Loctite will be good. Safety wire is generally used when there's a need to remove the fastener in the future.
