Stus-List Anchor roller question

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

Stus-List Anchor roller on 30 Mk I

Hi, Does anyone have experience, good or bad, with adding an anchor roller on a 30 Mk I? Ideally I’d love to see pics of the results. Mine (1980 hull #609) doesn’t have one and I’m finding it a little limiting. Stainless Outfitters will make me a bolt-on version, although I’m not exactly sure h

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller arrangement on my C&C 38

Listers, Many good ideas and thanks to all for your input. I liked Rick Brass's idea of adding provision for the asymmetrical tack line to the custom roller mounting plate. Paul E's use of the 4WD controller is cool and his blog is even cooler. Tom's photos show a really neat install

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

Here is a pic of what I call "anchor keepers"--I don't know what their correct name is but I bought them and added them to my boat a long time ago. Right now I only have one anchor in place. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag50/RainyDays99/Anchor%20Keepers%20w%20border_zpsz8chw4mg.jpg Bob

If I was to put an anchor roller on now I would have it double as a sprit for an asymmetric spinnaker. Long and sturdy with the roller doubling as a tack block. Jerry. J&JC&C 27 V Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 17, 2015, at 7:48 PM, Barbara Hickson Fellers via CnC-List > wrote: > > >

Re: Stus-List anchor roller

Would some of y'all mind posting some pix of your bow/anchor rollers? With my toe rail, I've never been able to figure out exactly where the roller would go without ruining the look of my bow. The chain on my Fortress goes through either forward chock and gets cleated off. I pull my Fortress up by

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

David, I just wrap the chain itself around the cleat, usually holds pretty good with just one circle wrap...and I also use a pin to secure to the anchor roller and a snap shackle to a link in the chain on one end and secured to the toe rail on the other for a redundant secure... a windlass is good

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

The chain tensioner would be harder to apply, whereas the stopper takes the load whenever you let it slide back an inch or so. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 17 August 2015 at 09:17, David Knecht via CnC-List wrote: > I was actually looking at this one but not sure in pr

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

I do it exactly as Dwight described. It's not always easy breaking the 30# bruce claw anchor loose since we back down on it pretty hard. As Dwight stated after taking most of the rode up you can cleat or chain stopper (or screwdriver in a link) and power forward gently. Without a deck wash down

David, you might want to consider running the chain through a chain stopper. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/lewmar--chain-stoppers--P005_155_002_501 That way, anything you have dragged in is held and gives you time to regroup. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 17 August 2015 a

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

I was using the windless to pull the chain to the point where the shank of the anchor cleared the water. I have also pulled the chain by hand (before the battery was hooked up) and tied the chain off when the anchor broke the water. Once the chain is tied off (rolling hitch with a rope or a cha

on a more serious note Dave, the thick gloves do help...I stand on the deck at the bow and pull up, not back on the slack anchor rode and chain very slowly, allowing the water column to wash it off as much as possible and sometimes I use the engine to drive forward slowly to make getting the rode a

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

I have a Rocna 20kg anchor and although I have a windlass I don't use it to pull the anchor over the roller. I use a gaff over the pulpit to hook on the roller of the anchor. Pull it home with no problem and can hold in place while I tighten it up. Works like a charm and a lot less stress on the

Stus-List Anchor roller

And now for something completely different- I have only used my anchor a few times, but I have found it really hard to recover by hand- much harder than the one I had on my C&C34. The anchor is heavier- Rocna 27 lb, and the chain is heavier. I can pull it up by hand, but when it gets to the ro
