Since getting my WS T-140 that has the trax systems on it I wanted to go a different route when doing an anchor trolley for it. After doing some research and lubing the wheels in the ole noggun I decided to go the no drill direction. Chad Hoover with the WS Fishing team has another variation that nice. 1) I turned my Trax tie offs around so the larger tie off hole was on the outside. 2) I ran some 1/4" shock cord through the pulley and the tie off then tied an overhand knot. I did this for the front and the back. 3) I ran some 4mm line through the pulleys and then tied both ends off to a stainless steel ring with bowline knots. I also ran the line through the SS ring to keep the rig from pulling too far from the kayak. The shock cord keeps the rig tight and only allows the rig to extend 8-12 inches from the boat. This anchor trolley is easy to do, easy to take off, and easy to maintain.

The only problem with your rig is that it is TOO DRY!!! I am ready to wet mine up, maybe Saturday. Did a little re-stocking at the ol' BPS today, so hopefully this weekend I'll be ready! Gotta hook my trolley back up tomorrow, but nice job on yours! ;D

That must have been a lot of lube for that noggun ;D. You are the rigging master.

Since posting about the anchor trolley that I rigged up on my Tarpon 140 I've changed it a little. Instead of tying the line to the SS ring, I folded the line over the ring/ sewed it/ and then covered it with shrink wrap. Idea was courtesy of KBF's Chad Hoover.Note the before and after:
