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.

I started adding an anchor roller myself, but it's still a work in progress. I think that the roller that I bought is a little too small, and I made a bow pulpit out of Maple wood, but I didn't seal it yet, and the wood warped from being outside, so I may have to start again. I decided to move my bow light. I replaced the single one in the center with separate red and green ones. I end up going with these: Attwood LIGHT ARMOR 2NM LED Stainless Steel Bow Navigation lights Pair NV1012SS led nav lights.jpg And I'm really pleased with them! (I've already installed them, and wired 'em up). Quote:
If anyone else has a decent-sized bow roller that they're willing to sell, I'd be interested. @ashokrags, I believe that the loop at the end of the bow roller actually goes on the top of the roller when installed and the rope and chain go through it. That's the biggest problem with the small bow roller that I bought... it has a straight pin rather than a big loop, so I will need to modify it so that my anchor will fit through it. The loop keeps your anchor rhode on the roller and in the right area so that it doesn't pop off and move all around. It also helps you secure your anchor when under way.

I thought mine looked kind of small and, yes I think the loop should probably go over the top - doesn’t make sense the way it is. I never used it.
The responses are a little confusing - is mine too small to be of interest? Just need to know if it should be stashed back with boat parts. Thanks

It might be bit too small for my anchor , Here are the dimensions from the Mantus site ... its the 13lb one https://www.mantusmarine.com/mantus-...-4e9dc02f-2e2e I think the length is a bit short, but that can be adjusted, the bigger concern I have is the shank might be too big to fit through the loop over the roller. Mantus has a bow roller for the anchor, but its about $270. These are the dimensions of their bow roller https://www.mantusmarine.com/wp-cont...SIONS-2020.pdf I could be wrong and you can possibly confirm for me , but the height on that loop is less than 5" correct? Bases on their specs, it appears that I would need that much space. I will also measure my shank today too to confirm. ** regarding Carpet ** I just removed the entire carpet from the cuddy  It was oily and smelly and I just found that the cuddy was much cleaner with it off. Thanks for that tip though..
