Cal-June Trip Line and Anchor Marker Buoy 1204, 100 ft Line, 800 lb Breaking Strength

The Cal-June Trip Line and Anchor Marker Buoy (part number 1204) is essential gear for any boat that sets an anchor. One end of the buoy's line attaches to the trip shackle of the anchor. As the anchor is dropped, the buoy rides down with it, then rises back to the surface as the 100 ft. Line unwinds. Once at the surface, the line is tied off in the cleat built into the buoy, marking the exact anchor location and keeping the trip line ready to use whenever the anchor needs to be tripped free.

The buoy itself is molded from resilient, tough foam in bright orange for maximum visibility on the water. It is paired with 100 feet of black, weather-resistant line rated at 800 lbs. Breaking strength, giving boaters a durable, dependable connection between the surface marker and the anchor below. The built-in cleat means no separate hardware is needed to secure the line once the buoy reaches the surface.
