Sea-Dog 328040-1 Anchor Lift and Lock Bow Roller, Electro-Galvanized Steel, 3/8 Inch Rope

The Sea-Dog 328040-1 Anchor Lift and Lock Bow Roller is a bow-mounted anchor roller built for simple, one-handed anchor handling. Lifting up on the anchor line releases the roller's locking system, letting you feed out rope until the anchor reaches the depth you want. Once you lower the line back down, the weight of the anchor itself activates a built-in braking mechanism that locks the line in place, so there is no need to manually cleat or hold tension while anchoring or retrieving.

The roller is constructed of electro-galvanized steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and it is sized to handle anchor rope up to 3/8 inch in diameter, with a maximum anchor weight rating of 20 pounds. It measures 6-13/16 inches by 13/16 inch by 1-7/8 inches and installs with four #10 RH fasteners (fasteners are not included). This roller is a straightforward retrofit or new-build addition to a boat's bow for anyone who wants faster, safer anchor deployment and retrieval without fighting the line by hand.
