I just received my new delta anchor, and low and behold it would not retrieve in the roller used by my old CQR. It just wouldn’t fit without the tip hitting the bow. So what I did is I removed the second roller so now when the shank is pulled through, it’s pulled through at a lower angle which keeps the tip of the anchor rotated down just enough to not hit the bow. Make sense? Here are some pics to illustrate.
Here it is fully retrieved with the second roller removed to allow the shank to sit at a lower angle:
Like I said it’s close, but it doesn’t hit:
And Here you can see the roller I removed. (Bolt hole).
Anyway it works ..does anyone foresee any issues? And if so, what bow roller have others used for a Delta anchor?
Thanks!
