Small Anchor Bow Roller – AISI 316 Stainless Steel (170 mm)

This small anchor bow roller is an essential fitting for simplifying your anchoring process on smaller vessels. Measuring 170 mm in length, it is crafted from polished AISI 316 stainless steel, which means it can withstand the marine environment without rusting or weakening. The bow roller mounts at the stem (bow) of your boat and serves as a guide for the anchor and chain as they are deployed or retrieved. By cradling the anchor shank and rolling the chain over a smooth wheel, it prevents the rode from chafing against your boat’s hull or pulpit. The result is a smooth, trouble-free lowering and raising of the anchor, which is easier on both the crew and the boat. This particular model’s compact size and sturdy build make it suitable for a variety of smaller anchors (typically those used on boats in the range of 4–8 meters, depending on anchor weight). Installation is straightforward, usually involving bolting the roller onto the bow or anchor platform. Once installed, you’ll immediately notice more controlled anchor deployment and alignment, as the roller helps keep the anchor secure and centered when stowed. If you’re looking to upgrade your boat’s anchoring gear, this small stainless-steel bow roller is a smart addition that enhances safety, protects your boat’s finish, and makes anchoring operations significantly more convenient.
