Morning, Got a problem with our bow roller again, it’s a Merry Fisher 580. During the severe weather earlier in the year, the bow roller sheared a bolt in the roller, despite additional ropes being secured to the swinging mooring, it was obviously thrown about quite violently. Went down for a clean-up and general check over of the boat at the weekend and noticed that a bolt had gone again. So it looks like it may be better to put a heavier and broader brace plate for the roller to connect to, to spread the load whilst on the mooring and in windier conditions. The issue is accessing the roller to make these changes, as it looks as though we will need to gain access through the anchor locker to change anything. We took her locally to get the bolt done whilst getting the engine serviced. As the boat is on a swinging mooring, this roller is integral so would like to get it done properly. Have you guys got any contacts or recommendations to go to? Equally interested in other suggestions as well, so feel free to offer them up. Cheers all.
