anchor

Hi I have recently purchased a C42 MkII, which currently has the original Stainless steel offset double anchor rollers fitted to the bow and a what appears to be a Rocna 25 (or similar). The current arrangement is not self launching, ie in order for the anchor to fall off the front bow roller it...

Hello- first post to the forums here. I have a new-to-me 1989 C&C MK2 sailboat (Not a Catalina - I've seen prior confusion) and I am loving exploring and figuring out everything about the boat. First detail that I would like to change is that there is no windlass or even a bow roller on this...

Hi folks, As I prepare our new-to-us C&C 37 for cruising the San Juans and BC, I've decided to replace my Bruce 33 with a Mantus 45. The original bronze roller is inadequate, and the stock roller plate doesn't extend fwd enough for the Mantus tip to clear the bow edge. I'm hoping to find a...

I am new to Hunters and the idea of a recessed anchor well. where does one storage they're anchor rode and chain. the previous boat I was on we carried 350 of chain before we went to rope/line. Has any one installed a deck pipe in the anchor well to feed chain and ride under the vee berths?

Ok, I've been around lots of sail boats and motor boats. Never have a seen what looks like an anchor roller like this. I am assuming it's missing the roller parts. I've tried searching all the worldwide internets and cannot find anything that looks like this to help me figure out exactly what it...

We have a mooring spot at our local river (St. Croix, Wisconsin), but have to set up our anchor system. I've been trying to do a bit of research, and am leaning toward a pyramid or a mushroom anchor (since the logistics of a drum filled with cement seems daunting, and maybe not as secure)...

I am currently replacing my navigation lights with new LED fixtures. It is hard to imagine that these golf ball sized 2nm Attwood products will match the functionality of the comparatively huge lights I am removing, but we will give it a go. While I am on this LED/wiring project, I am...

New to us 2005 Hunter 41. Crew wanted to know how to operate the winlass manually. We think it's a Simpson Lawrence, which might have been purchased by Lewmar. Is there a tool or key that we need?

I have a 2004 Hunter Passage 456 with a Simpson Lawrence Horizon 1500 windlass. I am in need of a 3/8 G-4 Chain Gypsy. Any ideas where I can locate one?

I have a 2004 456 Passage and interested in installing an anchor wash down pump and hose. I have a forward thru hull that was dedicated to my toilet before converting to fresh water. Any suggestions on pump and hose storage would be helpful.

I have an ODay 28 and am planning a retirement trip down the ICW from Annapolis to Mobile Bay Alabama departing September 2017. I went to a seminar on the trip (to Florida) and got ideas but it sparked many questions I want to put forth to this site for inputs/recommendations: 1. Get a heater...

We have an O'Day 26 with a good anchor locker. I find that manually deploying and retrieving the anchor is very awkward. Reaching out either over or under the lifeline, keeping the rode, chain and anchor away from the rail while feeding everything back into the locker, I just wonder if I'm...
