There has been a good bit of desire for bow rollers on a c250 so that a claw anchor can be used.

During some prep work today for the upcoming Bahamas cruise, I cleaned out the anchor locker and inspected the rodes on both my anchors. While both were out... I decided to test the possibility of stowing both anchors in the anchor locker not believing it possible but not knowing until it was tried. note: my claw was previously stowed in a cockpit locker.

I was surprised to discover that my 13 lb Deepset II Danforth and 16.5 lb Horizon Claw each with 185 feet of 1/2 inch rode and 15 feet of chain will both fit within the locker and in a fashion for quick and easy deployment.

More details on my web site

Arlyn what did you title the double anchor storage on your site? Do you think a 22 lb. Delta Fastset (what I use as my back up) would fit?

Oooops...should have given the link.

Can take a picture if any one wants.

I am thinking you may get both in the locker but may encounter problems removing the Delta Fast-Set with the rode of the Danforth still in the locker. The reason is that plow blades extend aft of the shank and rode will get coiled over the blades.

I like the idea of a bow roller. This would allow the ancho to be left outside, hanging on the bow. This should allow for further storage of another anchow inside the normal anchor area. I would like to see a boat with this added on.

I've been trying to get info on a anchor roller for the 250 since I bought the boat, and finally found a gent who shared some great tips. I ordered the same two items, both the windline roller (not designed to store anchor, just ease deployment and retrieval process) and the anchor bracket. The extra space I anticipate I'll gain in the anchor locker will afford me more space for additional chain. These are the photos Tim sent me (great guy) hope this helps others. I'm looking foward to getting the parts from sailnet this week (they had the best prices)<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3dd39b3127cce95384691ae7d0000001610" border=0><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3dd39b3127cce95384761ee150000001610" border=0><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3dd39b3127cce95384751ee250000001610" border=0>
