Looks new. Congrats. If it weren't for all the plastic (kayaks, decking on the dock, and the later model boat across the canal) that one pic could have been shot when the Wellcraft was new.

This is a Lewmar anchor roller from West Marine for about $160. I think it will work great mounted as far forward on the bow as possible. You could also build a bow pulpit, but I decided I didn't need one and had enough to do. I haven't used it yet, but the concept is that you pull the pin that holds the chain... the anchor goes down. When you hoist it back up, you pull it tight and replace the pin. I think it will help for anchoring by myself, as my crew will often consist of my wife and son. At 3 years old, it'll be awhile till he starts pulling his weight on deck.

Awthacker, two things you need to do/learn. First, put a lanyard on that anchor pin. Destroyer's First Rule of boating clearly states: If it can fall over the side, it will. (I highly recommend using Berkeley black vinyl covered wire leader. It lasts for years, doesn't rust, looks neat and is a cinch to make up). Second, learn how to make an eye splice on the bitter end of your line. Attach the anchor shackle thru the eye. It makes for a much neater appearance and goes thru the hawse pipe a lot easier. Other than that, really well done job.

as long as we are getting picky, i would also recommend safety wiring the clevis pin in the shackle on both ends of the chain. they will not come out when you want them to and back out when you don't want then to.
