Bought a 16 lb Claw for my 23 foot Trophy,trying to figure out how to mount it,existing"standard" bow roller lets anchor rock back and forth.I see in West Marine various bow rollers for Claw anchors its not clear to me how they hold anchor firmly.Does it somehow jam up against the bail?in which case maybe I just add a bail to existing roller? Anyone got a pic,description,etc?

Re: Anchor roller for Claw anchor

Depending on the design of the bow roller and the way it's mounted on the pulpit, the claw anchor can either jam up against the bail or it gets pulled high enough to jam up on the claw (to the bottom of the pulpit). Mine works the latter way. Here are pics of the two ways:
