How to Rig an Anchor Trip Line
- 1). Depress the spring gate of the D-ring at the end of the 3/8-inch nylon line. Slip the body of the D-ring through the hole in the crown of the anchor. Release the spring gate.
- 2). Slip the other end of the 3/8-inch nylon line through one of the holes in the float. Measure the line between the crown of the anchor and the hole in the float, to ensure that there is sufficient line for the boat fender to float on top of the water.
- 3). Secure the boat fender in place on the line by tying a double knot around the hole, completing the rigging of the trip line.
