Anchor bracket.

[burgundyben]

I have a bow roller, with a Bruce pattern anchor in it, there a drop nose pin through the bow roller fitting passing through the stock of the anchor.

At the aft end, tip of the stock, where the shackle for the chain is, it has a tendency to flap up and down, ie the anchor pivots on the drop nose pin up front.

I'd like a bracket, a flat base screwed to the deck, with a pair of vertical cheeks, close to the stock, and a drop nose pin.

Is there anything ready made online? Or do I have to have it made?

You should be able to find some channel section stainless or have a fabricator bend some sheet and drill it for a pin, alternatively use a pad eye and lash it down.

How about a small horn bollard fixed across the deck. A piece of cord or even a loop of bungee would hold the anchor still. Dual purpose too.

I could do, but I'd like something that looks (and works) like its made to measure, rather than a lash up with bungee.

There is this but slightly pricey:-

I am sure I have seen similar somewhere in the UK but SVB do ship to the UK.

Found it:- http://www.piplers.co.uk/chandlery/...ries/bow-rollers/osculati-anchor-stopper-lock

Or this - much cheaper!
