ok need a couple recommendation on installing a bow roller, including which model and best method to repair two holes due to removal of pop-up light and cleat. the boat is a parker 23se
1. i'm going to install a windless on my boat, it currently does not have a pulpit so i'm thinking about one of two bow rollers from www.windline.com the bow roller numbers are CAR-5 or the URM-7.
Both the CAR and URM are 24" long, how far out front of the bow should i install the bow roller?
i will using two pieces of three-sixteenth diamond plate for backplates
The Car-5 only takes the danworth anchor But the URM-7 takes several types of anchors plow, delta, etc. i do like the cantilevertlever on the Car-5. what do you think?
Both are 24" long and 4" wide. how far over the bow would you mount the bow roller. i will be using a danforth anchor.
2. . i have a pop-up nav. light and a pop-up cleat that has to be removed in order to install one of the bow rollers noted above. when i remove them i need fill cavities with something. they are probably 1-2'' deep don't know yet.
i was thinking about going to west marine and getting a quart each of the the two part epoxy and mixing in some silica to thicken it up. that stuff is $$$ about $36 for each quart, plus the silica filler.
i guess all i need to do is tape off the bottom mix and fill her up. do i pour all the epoxy in a one time or split into two pours.
the repair (holes) will not be seen since they will be covered by one of the 4" wide bow rollers.......just don't water water intrusion on the virgin plywood. what do you think?
