My understanding is that bow rollers are not designed for continuous shock and side loading )exasperated be leverage) if in tough anchoring situation . If a calm night (things can go wrong quickly however) perhaps leave in roller.
Me? Enough variables in anchoring not to remove this one. I take it out of the roller to the cleat. Designed for shock and side loading. David F. Risch, J. D.

I thought that it would be okay but have learned never to assume especially on the water! Do you use anything to keep the line from jumping the roller or has that not been a problem?

I am in the northern Chesapeake Bay. I only use 10' of chain and the rest is 8 plait anchor line. The bottom around here is mostly mud and I get incredible holding power from my Fortress 23. My question is is it okay to just run the line over the bow roller then cleat it off or should I run the line through one of the port/starboard bow openings you run your dock lines through? Thanks in advance to all responders.
