Bow roller recommendations for Manson supreme

Having lashed out on a new 16kg Manson supreme anchor (before I corrected it I previously referred to it as Marston supreme - I must have been thinking about beer! - just wishful thinking!!!) I've discovered two things

a) It doesn't fit my anchor locker (despite making a cardboard mockup - I blame the fact that I used Tesco cardboard)

b) when raising the anchor it bashes the yacht gelcoat.

Looks like i'm in the market for a new bow roller - one that projects further outwards where I can leave the anchor permanently in position.

Can anyone recommend one? Preferably one that fits my anchor and is not made of 'cheesy' stainless.

Are the pivoting ones any better?

Does it have an anchor retaining pin?

Thanks in advance

Snap.

I'm going to use alloy plate just to extend forwards and not pivot.

I had a similar problem but with a Delta. My solution is shown in the photos. My stainless man welded it up for me at a lot less than a new roller would have cost. I didn't bother with an actual 'roller' but it wouldn't have been difficult to incorporate one.

I develop the following for chain and anchor so it would self align and not strip the windlass gears. It hold a 35Kg anchor and works well.

I extended my bow roller when changing from CQR to Manson by bolting ss plate to the existing fitting.

I've got a Manson Supreme and my problem is not with stowage but stopping it rocking from side to side (v difficult to lash). It sends shudders and rumbles down the boat which sound as though she has hit a brick wall.
