As many of you know, I fish from my canoe (though I intend to sell it toward the beginning of next fishing season, around late May or June of 2016). But this past weekend the anchor system broke. There is a brace that attaches to the canoe which serves to hold the pulley. The pulley is how I lower and retrieve the anchor. This brace totally broke off!

Incidentally I snapped my fishing pole in half on this some fishing outing. Granted, it was an Ultralite that I was using in situations I shoudl have been using a Medium for. But I digress...

I am trying to decide what to do here. As I see it my options are:
1. Go to the tool library and check out a few tools to try to drill new holes and such for the anchor bracing device. Keep in mind, I am not handy at all. This would be me trying to DIY.
2. Find someone, perhaps at a local bait shop, who can fix this for me. HAP... more costly...
3. Sell the canoe now and let this issue become someone else's issue. But sell it for less because it does not have an anchor system and because the best part of the fishing season is behind us now.
4. Wait a while and decide later... (This is not my favorite option).
