@scook -- yours could be OK. I depends upon the size and type of anchor that someone wants to use. I guess the question is more for the O.P. to answer.

Highly recommend.
I did eventually install a deck pipe straight into the "anchor locker"

That's really cool, @skunkBoat.

Since my homemade bow pulpit will have to be built again (it warped), I think that I'll buy a roller similar to yours instead.

I just ordered this off of Amazon.

Based on your comments I think it will work very well!

@ahokrags, I really like the anchor roller. I think it was well worth the money.

I've set up the roller and bow pulpit made out of Ipe wood, replaced the single bow light with a separate port and starboard ones, and removed the cleat for the anchor. I haven't put a new cleat on yet, or actually used the anchor yet, but I think it'll be a big improvement!

More to come once I'm done!

Great. I could not get mine in through the winter. Will look into it this summer
