Thank you for the photos, . I have moved my nav lights to the pulpit, so one thing out of the way. It appears that I will have to possibly have to( like yours) raise the furler to accommodate the incoming anchor. There is no anchor locker hatch and the Lumar windless feeds the chain directly into the locker without a need for its own downpipe. It seems I need to pick up an anchor roller to figure out its positioning and direction leading to the windless itself, which might put the winless slightly off center. My concern is how long the anchor roller will be to accommodate the anchor and allowed to seat properly. Nervous to pull the trigger on a new roller without seeing it and lining all these things up. I am looking at a roller that is just shy of 20 inches. It seems to be the size that will allow plenty of leverage on deck and hopefully enough out over the bow to accommodate the anchor . This complete has been overwhelming and with no hands on help I need input from our community thank you so much for the photos gave me some knowledge to move forward with ideas. The project currently at a standstill because of winter and is ready to go in the spring, but I have no idea how I am to complete it without an extra set of hands. I so wanna see this girl sail again. By far the most hectic project I’ve ever started, but I will not give up.

I made a mockup of it with wood and with several helping hands temporarily installed the anchor to determine if it would fit and how far forward it should go. This was fine tuned once I got the roller in hand. It extended far enough out that I wanted to support it with the G10 plate. The Mantus anchors are a bit difficult to fit. They set nicely though!
