Anchor Roller on 25.5?

[Anthony Bavuso]

Has anyone put an anchor roller on their Hunter 25.5? If so what model did you use, how did you do it? Do you have pictures. If you don't have an anchor roller on your 25.5 what ways have you developed to easily handle your ground tackle?

Bow Roller

Hi Anthony,I put a roller on my 25.5 and it really helps with pulling the anchor in; keeping the anchor line from chafing; and keeping the anchor away from the hull when retrieving.I got mine from West, using the AR-2 Small Bow Roller, Model # 146340. I mounted it just to port of the centerline. It will line up with at least one of the existing bolt holes in the toerail. Hard to describe and I don't have pictures but it's easy with minimalinstallation. I think I used only 3 bolts which is sufficient.Dick VanceH-25.5 "Honey Bear"

I Meant Starboard

Anthony,I meant to say, mounted on the starboard side of the forestay! I'm right handed and its easier to handle the rode with the roller to the right.Dick
