H27 Bow Pulpits?

What happened to the one that came from the factory?
This is the pulpit on my Cherubini 27(the stainless steel rails).
I think what you're referring to is a "bowsprit", which sticks out in front of the bow.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. I didn't realize it was called a different name.
I have the stainless rails on mine, but the previous owner bought an oversized anchor and tried to shove it into the anchor locker, and in turn caused the locker door to bend, and the locking mechanism to crack. Which is another repair I'll have to do at some point, but the locker compartment isn't all that spacious.
"Anchor roller" - the attached photos are not my boat, but should give you some ideas. I haven't seen the underside up in the v-berth, but probably needs a backing plate or at least some oversized washers to keep from the bolts from pulling through.
You might consider that it would be easier to just get a folding Danforth anchor that fits in the locker.
It's another of those projects that's on my list, too, but I don't cruise enough to really want it.
Let me know how it turns out.

I installed a bow anchor roller to my H27 to handle my new Rocna 10kg. It was a tight fit around the roller furler but has worked out nicely. The anchor roller channel extends a little aft of the cleat, so I installed another cleat in the bottom of the anchor locker so that there is a straight run through the anchor roller channel. The anchor roller is thru bolted so access to the backing plate, nuts and washers was a challenge, but doable. Here is a pic:
