Bow Roller First305

[blockett]

One flange of my double bow roller was missing when I bought the boat and I want to replace the roller. However the nuts are right at the front of the forepeak with the anchor well moulding making them impossible to reach. Anyone any ideas?

Could you fit an access hatch in the anchor well? Waterproof dinghy type

Not sure how, but I know it can be done. We used to have a 305 and broke the fitting in an argument with a sea-wall!!. We had it replaced by Larkmans in Woodbridge Suffolk after ordering the replacement from Beneteau

Its possible that the bolts are glassed in on the inside and so won't turn when you try unscrewing the bolts from the outside. This is how the stanchions and pulpit on my boat are fitted in areas where you can't get to the inside, and I think my bow roller may be the same.
