lower and retrieve

After you have anchored your boat and you are sure the anchor is holding securely, stretch out your rope or chain and lower your Kiwi Anchor Rider as shown below.
When you want to move your vessel, put the boat in slow reverse to stretch out the anchor line (in case it has sat in a heap on the seabed) and retrieve the Kiwi Anchor Rider anchor weight with its own rope (no need to use the winch, it comes up easily on its own pulley system), before you bring the anchor up .

Model AB30 for boats 30 to 60+ft with rope anchoring, is shown here

If you make sure the rope (or chain if you have all chain) is stretched out, it is very easy to reach over the bow to put the Kiwi Anchor Rider on. You may need to put the boat in slow reverse to do this. You can also put the unit on on the deck and feed it over the bow roller. On some boats, because of the bow configuration, you may need to put the unit on from the dinghy.

Locking lever should be on your left.

 twist the anchor weight on to the rode

Twist the Kiwi Anchor Rider onto the rope (or chain) If the locking lever is facing the anchor, it is on correctly.

 lock the locking lever

The locking lever needs to be fully closed to keep the rope (or chain) in the channel.

 lowering the Anchor Buddy anchor weight / Kiwi Anchor Rider anchor weight

Lower the Kiwi Anchor Rider  with the Buddywarp. See how the angle of pull on the anchor, is changing. If you place it just off the seabed at low tide, then secure it, it will be off the seabed at all stages of the tide. It is most effective like this.
