I have a standard rig Cat 30 with an anchor roller/forestay mount ( 2 small ones ) that basicly just keep the rode from chafing. I would like to install a long anchor roller that woud hold a Bruce Anchor out away from the bow. I've looked around but don't see anything that I can mount without major changes. Any ideas, any experience with this. Pulling the anchor out of the locker isn't always that easy. thank you

Did that
Used a stock West Marine bow roller on our 1983 Catalina 30. Notched the bottom to fit back from bow. Using a Bruce 33 pound anchor. Could weld it to stainless stem piece for more strength, but not needed. Also could mount stem piece on top of roller (but didn't want to take it off). Anchor is away from bow, launches easily.

I didn't realize I could take the rollers that are on there off separate of the stem. thanks

Jack Nice job on the carpeting. We got that idea from a slipmate. It's great for the dinghy floor. Stu
