Default Anchor bow roller install

Hi all
I have a question about installation of an anchor roller. I just bought a Mantus M1 13 lb anchor. We do anchor a lot while the kids jump off. I looked up this one on Amazon. I think this might fit
White Water ARWU-03 Stainless Long Platform Anchor Roller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAD7VAX...ing=UTF8&psc=1

So some questions are
- would that fit on the bow without a pulpit?
- can I fit it offset to the bow? As it appears I might need to move my cleat
- can I just put a deck pipe and would that make it easy to stow my rope in the anchor locker

Any help/insight/comments will be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ashok

Let me look and see if I have one of those. Pretty sure that, or similar, is what I took off to rig for my rocking chair anchor that we use in the Columbia River.

If I have it and you want it, you can have it for the shipping.

I’ll try to get a look tomorrow.

There was no bow pulpit on mine and I don’t think it interfered with the cleat at all.

The pic's should give you a pretty good idea of what it is. Let me know any questions - it's not very heavy and is all stainless, except for black composite roller.

A caution when drilling through the deck and into the carpet on the roof of the cuddy - it's VERY tough carpet material - I've broken several drill bits getting the carpet fiber wound around the bit.

Default Bimini top or other for Wellcraft V20

Hello folks, Does anyone have any info about where a Bimini or other style top for my V20 can be purchased, is there a better top than the Bimini? In your own humble opinions?

Thanks and stay safe

I got a bimini off of eBay, little over $100 two years ago. Destroyer recommended the vender. It has held up great. Two years in the Florida sun, no issues. Comes complete with frame,canvas, and cover. I ve never taken mine down

I bought mine off Amazon. Fits well started with the cheaper aluminum ones and they have lasted 2 years so far and will at least this year too I guess. I can post the link on Amazon if you want I needed up getting an 8 ft one I think. Will post more details and pictures if you are still looking.
