Re: new anchor roller
Looks like something on a small boat.
Don't think the aft facing small chain port is a good thing at all. Facing aft will make for akward deploying of the anchor and the small hole virtually mandates a splice of the rhode to the chain (in lieu of a thimbal).
As far as the "davit" goes it might be OK.

Re: new anchor roller
Hey, is that Sampson post original? I understand the reverse hole, it makes it practical to feed it back into the locker after you have pulled the anchor back aboard. I would recommend a hawse pipe with a rain cap, that would make it really easy to put the rode back in the locker. Have you used it yet? Cool!

Re: new anchor roller
original post. and yes the rope is attached directly to the chanin to fit throught the hole.
We did use the rig and it works very well. the mount is solid fiberglass with epoxy resin, used severl different types of glass, very strong. faired it and painted with awlgrip.

Re: new anchor roller
It is fun to do your own projects. Hey Captn Bill, it is a 34, not the USS Arizona. LOL

I'm still going to have to change my pulpit to handle the plow I bought for my 58. I bought a new roller assembly, but I haven't had time to mount it yet. My pulpit is equipped with interchangeable parts for such things as different anchor types, but Ideal doesn't make the parts anymore. Guess I'll just have to make do.1974 58TC "Freebird", 1965 41DC "Nancy Cay", For Sale - Click HERE for info - sosectn@aol.com

Oh well, add it to the list of things to do AFTER I get both wings flapping again.1974 58TC "Freebird", 1965 41DC "Nancy Cay", For Sale - Click HERE for info - sosectn@aol.com

Re: new anchor roller
There is an easy way to get the rope back in the locker. I have an 8 year old bilge rat that does it so well and he can even fit in the anchor locker if he wants to.

Re: new anchor roller
LOL, I like the idea of useful jobs for the crew, it keeps their minds off mutiny!
