Hey Judy,
For what its worth, I (on the cheap) took a spare Deck plate that the
ventilator fits into and with PVC glue, glued in a piece (3-4") of PVC pipe.
I then took a properly sized cap for the pipe and ground out a U shaped
notch on it's bottom edge. I then ground out an identical notch on the top
edge of the pipe. On the inside top of the cap I screwed in a brass cup
hook (with a springy metal piece that makes captive whatever you hook) and
filed flat the portion of screw that protruded through the top and dabbed it
with a little dab of gel-coat repair to cover the spot. What you get is ::
a covered hose pipe that holds the end of the rode so it does not fall into
the locker and on popping off the cap it delivers the rode end into your
hand. After deploying your anchor replace the cap with the U'holes offset
and it seals the hole from water by squeezing down on the rope. If you need
to close it up with chain sticking out , align the U'holes for a larger
aperture. Rotate the deck plate to point the outlet wherever you desire.
Pop the whole deck plate and replace with the ventilator for ventilation.
The PVC pipe has held up beyond my wildest expectations. Total cost for PVC
stuff about 79cents - spare deck plate under five bucks.

>Hi WebGang,

>In my continuing quest to transform our little P19 into a first class
cruiser <grin>, I'm trying to figure out the best layout to keep a small
Delta plow anchor on the bow on an anchor roller-mount. Even a small Delta
anchor is not so small, so it requires a pretty long anchor roller mount. T
hey just aren't as compact as a Danforth!

may have to move the ventilator cowl (with the solar fan stuck in the hole)
somewhere else (Eric, you moved your fan to the forward hatch, right?)
