Help adding bow roller / anchor holder

[ebsworj]

Hi guys I have a 1985 Tide Runner pictured below. Closed bow with storage underneath. I want to add an anchor holder and roller so I can let loose the rope and let the anchor fall without haveing to drag out the anchor from underneath the bow then carry all the rode up on the bow to drop it.

Any ideas where I can get one or make one? I've seen bow rollers for sale but I don't know how they can hold my anchor. I have a danforth style anchor with the flukes.

You should be able to install a standard anchor roller on your deck. You might need to move the bow light however. Install a cleat near the drivers position, on the gunwale. Also, put a container under the dashboard to hold the line. You can drop and retrieve the anchor from the Captain's position.

bolts thru the deck, use some backing material.
