Hi folks, As I prepare our new-to-us '85 37 for cruising the San Juans and BC, I've decided to replace my Bruce 33 with a Mantus 45. The original bronze roller is woefully inadequate, and the stock roller plate doesn't extend fwd enough for the Mantus tip to clear the bow edge.
I'm hoping to find a beefier roller for the original and use the Mantus anchor guard, but this still may not bring it out far enough. Hoping NOT to shell out for the pricey full-on bow roller assembly. Has anyone with the older anchor roller setup (one-piece cast aluminum) retrofitted the roller to accommodate anchor design? If you've installed the Mantus bow roller or anchor guard, I'm curious how you worked around, replaced, altered the original. Links and photos would be helpful. Peter McMinn _/)
