Re: Splashed the 72 Seafari - what I learned...
Gilie..no bouncing of anchor at all....
....the anchor flukes set downward with the crown up and the shank fits on top and between the stainless part of the anchor roller. It does not bounce etc due to the tightening of the anchor flukes against the underside tip of the anchor roller when I tighten anchor chain around the cleat..if that makes any sense. Plus, I set my windline roller(used oversize windline roller) so the anchor would never come into contact with bow of boat when raised and the anchor shank would never come into contact with the deck when secured. Also, instead of using a cleat to secure the anchor chain to pull anchor flukes against the roller end ...you could use an anchor chain tightener/tensioner. I am up in Long Island, NY (with my adopted newborn baby son)...will send some pics with anchor mounted when I get home.
