2120 anchor roller

[givupnever]

I will be installing a Lewmar Pro Fish 700 windlass on my Parker 2120 Sports Cabin. I called to the factory and they rcommended to install it 1 inch ahead of the current anchor locker door. I going to get Lewmar Delta 14LB anchor. I need a recommendation on which bow roller will work for me. I want to keep one manufacture accros the board - so I am looking at Lewmar 66840008 or 66840009 that are designed for that Delta anchor.
I have no idea how to determine the one based on size or distance from the end of the bow. Can anybody advise.
Thank you in advance.

When you talked to the factory, did you price a factory pulpit?
The pulpit would include the roller and should be a bolt-on upgrade.

If you have a single bow light, you'd have to switch to separates, but it is an easy upgrade.
The process is well documented here in the Projects section.

I do not want to have a pulpit - just a bow roller.

Fair enough.
Check the Projects section. That upgrade has been documented there.

Good luck!

I'd contact Lewmar ...

Thank you jentleman.

I did sort thru the project forums but could not find anything on how to properly measure bow roller position and did not see Lewmar roller.

I also called Lewmar but they said that the bow roller is boat bow specific and they cannot advise on that....
That living me in the dark.

I have the 2120PH and also mounted a Lewmar Windlass on the bow without the pulpit. I purchased a Lewmar Horizon 500 for 349.00 at Defender Marine and having the opportunity to save 500.00 kind of made the decision of which windlass I would use. I did not want the rode entering the anchor locker too far forward to avoid rode pileup so I glassed over the deck and removed the hatch and replace it with 2 1/2" Penske board. I then used a Windline Roller because it was half the price of the shiney new SS Lewmar. I used a Delta 14lb plow and it works great. Here is a link to the entire project and all the feedback that it drew whick is a lot of good information. I was coached by grouperjim but his was different because he had the pulpit and had to raise his while mine was at deck level as yours is. Hope this will help you out and if I can answer any questions let me know.

Tank you Ppem45- I saw your posts before - looks very impressive what you did .
My problem is that I don't have the skills to work with glass. I also wanted to replace the anchor original door - concerning that otherwise rope will not coil properly. I called to Parker and they recomended to install windlass ( I am getting Lewmar Pro Fish 700 ) 1 inch ahead of the door.
What do you think ? SHould I go with this advise or start looking for someone handy with the glass work ?
Also - were did you get 2 separate nav lights ?

You should ask grouperjim because he did his without all the glass work. He helped me with some of the ideas on mine and I don't mean to volunteer him but he is very into the Parker Boats as we here are and I don't think he would mind. As for the single navigation lights I got those from www.defender.com
