To attach the cleat?
Nuts and bolts, or well nuts if you can't access the inside.
A quick-release cleat is best, IMO. And an anchor trolley is highly recommended.

Nuts and bolts: seal with marine goop.
Well nuts are self-sealing.
Do you have a cleat?

The cleat is what actually fastens the anchor line to your kayak. The anchor trolley allows you to change the 'pressure point' so that you can face INTO the current, AWAY from the current, or sideways.

I have a newbie question (I don't have much experience with anchoring... I have a anchor trolly with a ring in the middle, an anchor and a clip in the rope (that slides up and down), and a cleat (built into 2012 Hobie revo right side pocket). How do I set up my anchor so that I can quick release it? Right now I clip the rope to the ring in the trolly, and I lock the rope with the cleat and the excess is in 'rope hanger' it came in. I usually have my ring in the back (anchoring in the back). If I wanted to quick release I would have to pull the achor trolly up to bring the ring closer, un-clip from the ring, and pull the rope from the cleat. Is that the best way?
Sorry for the complicated question, this would be much easier if someone just showed me-Mustafa

Dude that's a cool sketch! Did you just throw that together?
Ok that makes a lot of sense. I can replace my ring with the clip that's now on the rope so I can easily put my line through it like the image. My excess rope is on the 'rope hanger' (you know the thing the ropes sometimes are wrapped around when you buy them), so if I were to quick release my rope from the cleat wouldn't that get stuck on the clip/carabiner? What do you do with the excess? Also, with the set-up in the image, where would you put your float? Would you secure it or would it be free floating? and if free floating would you just knot the end or something to prevent it from slipping out?
Thanks for your help bro!-Mustafa
