anchor roller installed

[Chomper]

I was finally able to get the anchor roller installed, it is not quite finished but it will have to do for now because I need to get fishing. We just finally got the first cutting of hay in, so now I can get down to the bay.

Sweet looking... actually looks a lot like the one I have on my boat. Nice job!! Don't forget to put a Port and Starboard light on either side of the roller. Good luck on the fishing... :clap:

Man that looks GREAT, Chomper!!...Destroyer's right about the nav lights...specially if ya go out nights...and you'll need to secure that chain, too...easiest/cheapest way is w/a GOOD bungee cord pullin chain and anchor back to something... you might have to set up something to hook to...the expensive way is a chain tensioner...looks like you got a pin thru the cleat and that's good, but might rattle...don't know about you, but that'd drive me nuts...

Hey that's really nice looking and of course functional, I was thinking of doing that but haven't figured out the best way to get the chain through the deck without using the little round fitting ( too much of a pain to feed the anchor rope through every time). I don't want to leave the rope in a round bin topside either. How did you do it ?

Thanks guys, I still have to come up with something different but until then the bungee will have to do along with the pin. Actually the chain is really tight it is a pivoting roller so it applies some tension to it. I just leave the rope topside it's not the best place but I lay the rest of the chain on it to stop the chain from rattling on the deck.

I did mount the nav lights but I put them farther back. I will try to get a pic later tonight. I really don't go out at night but I have them on there just in case.
