Anchor Well Cap

[rayk_1982]

I recently purchased a 1976 Pearson 26' and I had my anchor well cap kicked overboard one night. I haven't been successful at finding a replacement at my local retailers and I am now reaching out to you all for assistance.

Because I am still learning my boat terminology, I will explain a little more thoroughly what I mean by anchor well cap. It is the cap that goes over the hole where my anchor line goes into my bow for storage. It was a polished steel cap.

Rainy season is here in Miami and I really want to get this cap found. Any advice that anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Kemo Sabe!

My pearson did not have,nor did any that I have seen have a manufacturer installed pipe to the locker...I would check with after market dealers like west marine or others.You will most likely have to buy the whole unit as I have not seen the cap sold on it's own

Thanks for your response. I think my internet skills were up to par today and I was successful in finally finding a site that has these pipes. I also appreciate the educational terminology used. If anyone else has these issues, http://www.sailorsams.com/mall/deck_pipe.asp has a lot of these in their inventory.

Isn't that part called a 'hawser' or 'anchor hawse'?
Duct tape would have closed that hole temporarily if you don't mind cleaning up the adhesive residue later.
For things that don't move and should: WD-40
For that shouldn't move that do: Duct tape
Glad you found the part(s) you need.

Bacon Assoc. in Annapolis might have just the cap by itself in the used department.

Is it something that you can fabricate on your own. A lot of things like that you can make and sometimes the fabricated versions work better. Seems like a small chain or cord attached to it that is anchored to the boat may be a good idea.
