That's a great idea for sure. Do you think the anchor roller is capable of holding up on a mooring (long-term)? That was my only reservation about using it in that way.
1984 Hunter 27: Bow/Deck Protection
- Thread starter Hunter Enthusiast
- Start date
From the pictures, it appears to me that the damage was done when the mooring line went from the cleat over the bow without a chock. Then the chock was added after the damage was done.
I bet that if the boat was moored from the cleat through the chock, the damage would never have occurred.
I do think that Tally Ho's recommendation of mooring through the anchor roller is an excellent solution.
A chock like the one currently installed with a section of rub rail outboard is another good solution after the surface of the bow is repaired.

Thank you very much; I think I've all the information required to move forward!
The deck cleats will likely be stronger. No need to put stress on your rigging as you would if you were to use the bow sprit chocks. Of course, this doesn't apply to all situations. It's much more practical to use the bow roller when anchored
I have the same problem on my H-33. I plan to use 1 1/2" angle stock under the chocks on each side.
I have tried to fix it a number of times (including making a new one) but if your on a mooring in a rough
place the line beats the snot out of the "bow plate"
So going with that this spring.

Good to know.
We have Z-Breeze on a mooring in just about open ocean in Salem, MA with zero protection from the NE winds so it
gets real wild in these areas. Hence the over-kill solution.
