Bow Anchor Roller Installation

[navvet6571]

I'm looking for any information that would provide assistance in installing a Windline CAM-4 pivoting anchor roller on the bow of a 2120 Sport Cabin. The 2120 does not have a bow pulpit so I'm attempting to install the roller to the deck at the bow. I know I will have to move the marker light and I've fabricated a 1/4" stainless steel backing plate. Most of the information I've been able to find recommends installing the roller with less than 1/3 of the overall length overhanging the deck. This is impossible with the hinged roller as it would not allow the roller to pivot properly.One option is to install the roller on a raised block of some type (starboard)

Any links to previous projects would be appreciated

Pictures would really help a lot here.

You say there is a recommendation of a certain overhang....Sometimes as you have found out that would need to be changed as you have found out...Your's is a pivoting type....theirs more than likely was not......Adjust accordingly. keep it far enough away so that the anchor does not have a chance to come in contact with the hull upon retrieve. You may just need to install a Pulpit...I would NOT use Starboard.
