great white Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 It was made to my design, by Dave at Midas Manufacturing. I have been thinking about adding one for a while now. As you say built to take the strain and to last. It sure helps to retrieve the heavy chain and anchor that we use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinbad Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I used to have a nice bow roller fitted to mine, until one day, with a novice as crew, he got the rope underneath the fitting,between the hull and the overhang and as the warp tightened..... yes you've guessed it.... Ping.. the fitting came off with a great bang, flew up in the air and landed on the deck! Anyway, I was thinking of removing it, and this just changed the job to a bit of fibreglass repair work...

Paul It was using yours when I borrowed Imagine, that started me thinking of getting one Paul. Mine has been made to be a good fit over the side deck, and is held on with the two large machine screws. It is not left fitted all the time as there are times when it would just be in the way.
