I own an Arima 19' Sea Ranger (walk around cabin) which is a good boat in
many respects but it has an anchor locker that is WAY too small to hold a
useful anchor. The boat has an anchor roller on the bow, but I am looking
for a one that I can use to store a good sized Fortress type anchor over the
bow. I have looked at some rollers that seem like they are supposed to do
this, but they only come with a clip FORWARD of the anchor roller. How is
the shank of the anchor secured so the anchor will remain in place? Do
people rely on securing the chain to a hook in the anchor locker or on the
deck behind the roller?

I was surprised at the number of different type of anchors available, I have
always used a Fortress that is about 2 sizes larger than recommended for the
boat and have never been let down.
