Anchor pulley and rear seat

I decided to go the cheap and simple route with the anchor pulley. I started by countersinking a stainless steel axle into the transom. I had to make sure the slot to accept the axle wasn't too deep as all of the force from the anchor will be pulling directly back. The transom will have a bang plate on the outside which will help.

 

I cut a slot in the plate I created earlier. I'm not going to epoxy the plate onto the transom just in case I have pulley issues down the road. I plan on bolting the plate in place and plugging the holes - that way I can always remove the anchor pulley if need be.
 
The pulley is just a simple Delrin sheave that I got from Fisheries Supply in Seattle.
