When I had to park my boat in the drive way, all I did was take a chain and thread it through one of the holes in the wheel and then wrap it around the frame of the trailer and lock it.
How long does it take to undo all that when you want to use the boat?

I thought you were leaving the boat at somebody's land that was 750 feet away from electricity?

Those square stones are a pain to remove and re set--really snugged together.
Usually store the boat at another location, but this weekend, I'm adding another two bank charger and a couple of batteries and installing a new 24 volt trolling motor (Thank you very much John175)
Wanted to do that project at home ( If I did it where I store the boat, I'm almost certain that at some point I'd need a tool left at home)
The rate limiting step is rehitching on the decline (lining up the ball and socket so it drops in perfectly) Bet I could go from anchored to on the road in under 2 hours.

Remove one square stone from driveway and drop front wheel in hole. This is the best answer.

Have you thought about just dropping a regular anchor over the side of the boat into the grass and tying off to a cleat?
Or dual power poles into the flowerbeds?

Concrete an I-bolt in the center of the drive way so as the ring is the only part that sicks out above the bricks then chain trl to it.
