NICE Anchor rig 8) ... curious to know what ya did about nav lights for the bow ... and great pics, too ;) ...

Anchor stay
 

Thanks Reel...........I try:) I positioned the bow lights flat on the outer most bow deck about midway.....they can be seen okay but I'd like to raise them a bit so when im about 1/4 throttle(bow up) they are still visable to oncoming boat traffic with no problem.........

Anchor stay
 

missed one :)

Thank you very much. *I always wondered how the roller would look without a pulpit, and I like it much. *Looks like a Windline URM-4? is in my future.

Is that an 8lb anchor mounted there? Think a 13 would fit?

Thanks again,

Airslot

I believe it is 8#.......this arrangement is very user friendly....the gripe is a lil hard to release sometime...gotta have a strong thumb!

3/4" Starboard cut to fit under each one...

Thats exactly what I had in mind! Great minds think alike!:)

Great Pics. So I guess when you want to anchor, you push the rope up through the hole and attach it to the chain, then let her go ?
Reel, I like the raise look on your bow lights. Now do the wires hang low in your bow from the bow lights.
