Just in case any 310 owners are wondering, the Mantus anchor fits fine on the 310 bow roller. I wasn't sure it would.

That is a nice fit! But you need to secure it better than that. Snug it back against the bow roller with a stout snub. Either a cleat in the locker from the shackle, or a link to the hole in the retrieval hole in the shank.Just in case any 310 owners are wondering, the Mantus anchor fits fine on the 310 bow roller.

We were walking by a cove on Mt. Desert Island in Maine one morning, watching a pristine yacht raise anchor. They were motoring away when an ungodly rattle of chain falling filled the air. The boat stopped immediately and once again retrieved the anchor that had not been secured on deck.I failed to cleat mine properly a couple months ago, and it self-launched before the boat had gone fifty feet. I didn't see it happen. Stopped us cold, obviously. Had me scratching my head and saying what the HELL? ... till I saw a laser-straight length of three-strand extending aft from below the transom! I was just glad it happened right away, and that the prop didn't get involved!!
Yes, now I have too much security! Roll bar is connected with a stainless carabiner so easy to release...Ha! I didn't notice the line from the roll bar to the pulpit until you pointed it out. Keep your boat knife handy. You might need to deploy that anchor quickly some day.
Save some hardware. Get a Johnson cleat on your pulpit and loop it through the anchor roll bar. Done.Yes, now I have too much security! Roll bar is connected with a stainless carabiner so easy to release...
Stu...can you be more specific because this may be what I was looking for. Googled Johnson cleat and am not sure what and where you mean?Save some hardware. Get a Johnson cleat on your pulpit and loop it through the anchor roll bar. Done.
