With the bow roller assembled, it can now be located
on the bow of the boat.
!!IMPORTANT!!
Before drilling any holes, make sure the bow
roller extends over the bow or side of the boat far
enough so that the anchor will not hit the boat
when being retrieved or deployed.
Locate the bow roller and mark the three holes in
the bow roller on the deck of the boat. Using a 1/4”
diameter drill bit, drill the holes through the deck.
Using three of the 1/4-20 x 3.0 long screws in the
kit (along with three lock washers, flat washers, and
nuts), secure the bow roller to the deck as shown in
Figure 4.
Remove the winch mechanism from the box and
locate behind the bow roller on the deck of the boat
as shown in Figure 5.
