Like most, I tire of the long time it takes to wind the marker buoy in. Some years ago I saw one on the net for sale but can’t find it anymore. Any of you have any bright design ideas? As I recall, it involved a cheap power screwdriver that plugged into the marker buoy, and it was a beautiful thing. LOL

I remember those. A bouy with a stem to attach a drill or power screwdriver to wind the weight back up.
They were not robust enough to last very long before the stem broke off.

idea 1 Drill a hole thru it, put a bolt thru it with a nut on either side, sealant to seal hole and brig a cordless drill. idea 2 Bring a kid along and toss it to him and tell him to wind idea 3 get a spotlock trolling motor and ditch the buoys Found this https://www.ebay.com/c/1231726481
