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.
They just aren't as compact as a Danforth!

Also adding a chainpipe to allow the chain and rode to pass below deck. I
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?)

I'm looking for comments and pictures from folks who have done this. Send
me your website addresses please!!

Thanks,
Judy B

PS. Maybe I'll have to rename her Galatea... or "My Fair Lady"

You are aware, of course, that electric anchor retrievers are not designed to
pull a set anchor? You are supposed to motor fwd, break anchor hold and then
lift without tension.

I checked all of them and came to conclusion Minn Kota's 100 lb lift unit was
perfect for an 8-9lb Danforth on bow of P19... My arm gave out and that is
another unaccomplished project.
