I am tired of dealing with anchoring my Islander. Since crawling through the bow hatch has never been an option, I have been tying a float to the line, pulling in over the side and storing the anchor under the rear seat. Does anyone use an anchor roller and windlass or pulpit? I really could use some ideas or pictures. Is a backing plate needed where the roller mounts on the bow? Bow light I guess would have to be moved? How does your set up work...any issues? All of my boating is done on Lake Erie or St. Clair and I have yet to drop anchor in water deeper than about 40', if this helps with the suggestions.
Thanx....Dan
