Oday 28 Tracy's Landing
I'm leaning toward the mantus 25 pound anchor and bow roller. My shop tells me that it is too big to accommodate on the bow and space for the rode in the anchor locker. It seems the anchor would have to be positioned about a foot forward of the bow. Does that seem to be a problem?
