Anchor Roller Question

[hostage]

I have a 19ft Maxum and it has a roller on the front for the anchor. I think it is missing a little curve bracket on to hold the anchor down. Is there any specific anchor I need for this setup? The current anchor I have is a Danforth style. I think it would be easier to use if I mounted it like that, I just don't want the anchor to fly off at speed and put a hole in the boat.

Thanks,

Re: Anchor Roller Question

You are missing either a SS bolt/pin that goes between the sides of the roller or the U-shaped retainer. It keeps the anchor and rope/chain from jumping off of the bracket.

Thanks for the suggestion, any idea where I would pick that part up? I am also trying to figure out if there is a special anchor I should use for this.

Thanks,

Your danforth should fit in that locker easily........would be my chioce of anchors.

Your best bet on finding just that part would be to look into boat salvage yards or find a deal on Craigs List.

Install a chain tensioner.
