Have you ever fought a jam cleat? You've pulled into your spot, dropped an oar to release the anchor, and now you're scrambling to tie it off before you drift. Then when it's time to launch, you're tying it off again while the current pulls you sideways.
If you've spent enough time on a raft, you've cursed at that cleat. We have. After one too many fumbled tie-offs, we got tired of cursing and started building.
The AnchorLok by LPF is a drop-in upgrade for the NRS anchor system. It swaps the stock jam cleat for a marine-grade cam cleat (the same style sailors use on halyards and sheets) and is mounted to a 6061-aluminum plate that attaches with your existing hardware. Pull the anchor line down and it locks. Lift up and it releases. One hand, under tension, done.
The hardware is marine-grade stainless. The cam bites anchor line from 1/8" up to 1/2", its working load is 300 pounds, and it has a limit of 750 pounds. That is strong enough for a fully loaded 15-foot raft, which covers most fishing rigs and overnight setups! We also sell spare springs and rebuild kits.
Do you need more line clearance for your frame? The kit ships with an HDPE riser and the hardware to raise the cleat off the deck and everything comes pre-assembled. Install takes about five minutes with a screwdriver. No drilling and no instructions to puzzle through.
The kit fits NRS anchor systems including the 2:1 and Slipstream.
We build these by hand in Silver Star, Montana on the Jefferson River. Every cleat that ships out gets assembled, checked, and packed by us. When you message us about fitment and custom parts you're talking to the person who built yours!
