Comments about NRS Raft Stern Frame Anchor System:
I use this anchor system on the New River and Greenbrier Rivers in WV. I've had great success on several fishing trips. Easy to install and easy to use. I do use the system with an additional pulley on the anchor to the rear bar. I wish I would have bought this several years ago.

Comments about NRS Raft Stern Frame Anchor System:
Having an anchor system while fishing is price less. This system is easy to install and works well on the rivers in the Pacific North West. If you fish from your raft there is no other piece of gear that will make your day any better.

Comments about NRS Raft Stern Frame Anchor System:
I have a 15.5' raft with an NRS frame. I use the boat for fly-fishing and have the full fly-fishing frame with leg locks in the bow and stern. I always used to just drop a throw rope with a 25 pound weight off of the frame and into the river to use as an anchor. What a huge pain. I finally broke down and spent the money on a nice anchor system and I wish I would have done it sooner. It's awesome. Totally functional, durable, and seems very tough. Very easy to use. The only complaint is that the black and white directions of how to install it were worthless. Believe it or not there are a lot of different directions some of the machined aluminum pieces can go, and it was a bear trying to figure it out at the put-in. While not cheap, this is going to be another piece for my raft that should last forever. I'm very happy so far.

Q:
What is the length of the remote bracket?Asked on 2/9/2013 by Rafter Girl from Sandy, UT1 answer
A:
The longest dimension, from the corner of the flat back to the tip past the jamb cleat, is 9". Measured out at 90-degrees from the flat back of the bracket, the leading edge past the jamb cleat is out 7.5".Answered on 2/11/2013 by Clyde from NRS

Q:
Have you come up with a system for your anchor to be used on rafts that have the wood side rails installed? The rails are a must have but I have heard that the anchor system is built such that you cannot install it with rails. Please advise.
Thank you.

Not sure what the wood side rails are? But you can get pretty creative with
the NRS ancor system. You may just have to modify where you put the pullies
and how you line it up with the gator jaw and the stern pully. I attached
in 2 spots that were wood instead of attaching to the tube frame.Answered on 2/4/2013 by AnonymousA:
Hi Jim, yes there is some interference with Side Rail Racks on that right side. Obviously you can't have a Rack resting on the footbar where the Remote Bracket w/ Jam Cleat is attached. On back right, the rope will slide along the top of a Rack. You can raise that rear Intermediate Pulley by putting some washers under it. The only ways to avoid the rope on top of the Rack are to just not use a rack there, or order custom rack supports that move the board further into the cockpit, so the rope can slide along the outside of it. Give us a call, 800.635.5202, if that works for you.Answered on 2/5/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
It might be possible to cut/notch out the wood side rails for the anchor components depending on how thick the wood side rails are, the first assembly and second pulley have a fairly low profile and sit on cross bars.

Q:
I have one of your frames for fishing on my 14' aire. On that, i have your anchor system. When using the system, when you pull-up and lock/cleat the anchor, normal drifting causes the anchor to bounce and rub against the raft. I have spoke to many that have the same issue. This creates wear and issues. Any solutions?Asked on 12/17/2012 by David from United States6 answers

I had the same issue on a NRS Otter. Got a 6" longer frame and that fixed it. Only had to swap out the side tubes that rest on the raft.
MikeAnswered on 12/17/2012 by AnonymousA:
It sounds like the bar that the anchor mast is attached to isn't sitting far enough back on the rear tube panel to let the anchor extend out as far as it should. I'll drop you an email and we'll get started on figuring out how we can help.Answered on 12/17/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I don't think there is a lot you can do. You most likely have the large
tube raft by aire. If you make the arm any longer the stress on the arm
would be greater. Mine is on a NRS otter 16 which also has larger tubes, I
just went to a lighter rubber coated anchor which works fine but it does
still bang against the tube once in a while. Doesn't seem to be any excess
wear.Answered on 12/18/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

David,
I had a similar problem with my 14' raft. What I ended up doing waspurchasing longer side rails from NRS. The standard frame has 68"bars. I had room on my raft to go to 82" bars which extended the back seat and anchor far enough back to keep it from rubbing the boat. Nota great solution but it worked well for me.VERIFIED BUYER
A:
I changed the anchor to a Mushroom style anchor and have not had any wear issues.Answered on 12/19/2012 by Anonymous

Q:
I am modifying a drift boat anchor system for my cat and have some parts. Curious if I can purchase the front pulley block without the cleat and a single side pulley both with hardware to mount them to my frame.Asked on 10/3/2012 by Sandy River Fisher from On a River between point A and Point B3 answers
A:
Give NRS a call at 800-635-5202, we manufacture the frames here in Moscow and should be able to get your the specific parts your looking for.Answered on 10/4/2012 by Pam from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I believe you can. But I don't think NRS sells those pulleys individually. But call a thier 800 # and ask a cust serv rep. It would be sim to the side pulley. But it might require a Dif minting bracket

I did put a modified ancor system on my raft, so I could control the ancor
from my rowing seat. I do not have a NRS rowing frame so I got kind of
creative with my existing rear pasenger seat. I just purchased your kit and
used some of the parts and mounted them to my Northern lights frame, by
drilling some holes in the frame and mounting the gator jaw at my feet on
the hard plywood floor.
Sounds like this guy might get by with your weekend warior ancor cleat, not
sure.
I could seend you some pictures if you think it would help
