Hi All, Photos of the modified bow roller for my Cap Camarat. I made cardboard templates first to copy the profiles to the 316 stainless steel. I used all the existing fixing holes in the original roller so I can remove it if I wish. Rollers are 86mmx49mm for the large one at the front. The other two are 68mmx49mm. Front one moves up and down to allow the delta anchor to jam against the lower edge. No anchor movement at all when at sea. 316 Stainless is very hard to work by had so it took a considerable time to cut and profile with a hacksaw and various files. Bow plate was gain a cardboard template and all cut and polished by hand. Polishing was with progressively finer wet and dry paper starting with 400 grit and finishing with 3000 grit. This was by far the hardest to achieve the finish required and took hours. I'm pleased with the end result and it stopped the anchor hitting the bow when its retrieved. Mikey B
