I want to add some kind of anchor roller/pulpit to my steplift cuddy.

As you all know, there is a sliding center hatch almost to the bow.

What kind of setups do you guys have ???

I am undecided as to whether I should build some kind of platform just above the sliding hatch and mount the anchor roller, chain tensioner and cleat on centerline OR if I should mount the roller centered on the tiny foredeck (with a huge backing plate beneath) and the chain tensioner and cleat off to the side.

I am also concerned with the anchor chain banging up the deck/hatches when underway and wondering how best to prevent this.

Any and all input would be appreciated and a picture is worth a thousand words. :)
