How hard is it to replace the roller? My father is on our 390 Mainship up in Alaska and the anchor roller disintegrated.
thanks much!

Many folks will use a roller that is hard rubber or hard plastic as found on larger boat trailers.
Most can be cut to width , they are cheap, last and can be found easily.
Hang a catch basket or bag under the bowsprit when doing that sort of work, better yet pull bow first into the slip so you can stand on the dock to work on it, then still use the catch basket.
My anchor roller is fine, but, when it goes I plan to try a bow roller as used on a boat trailer hopefully one of the yellow translucent plastic ones (Stoltz?) They seem very tough and vee shaped to hold rope or chain in the middle. Looks like they might have to be drilled our to fit the bolt maybe trimmed for length I think they come std. 3" & 4" wide. Anybody tried that?
