Self-Installing Hurricane Anchor Criteria

Hurricane anchors that screw in to the seafloor with a swivel rope attachment do exist, yet I wonder if there is a self-installing hurricane anchor, or one that can be installed from the surface via control cable that has been invented and produced-especially one that is low-cost. Someone should invent one if they don't exist.

The screw in to the seafloor portion could run through the middle of a heavier unit with a motor to rotate the screw for install and removal. That square unit coould have angular corner pins that insert into the seafloor to keep the unit from lifting when it is screwing the hurricane anchor to the seafloor.

I suppose it could be an electric motor connected to the surface, or perhaps have a rechargable battery within. It might be possible to attach some sort of cable that could turn the screw from the surface as well. The device is intended for the people without a scuba diver available to install the present hurricane anchor.

maybe this sort of hurricane anchor exists for large vessels in the oil industry already. This unit should be quite small inc comparison and used on pleasure craft from 14 to 30 feet and sell for fewer than $1000.
