Chris,
Even when I have an anchor on the bow roller I push it out 3" about horizontally so the fluke tip won't gouge the hull. But I always have a little rode on the channel of the bow roller that comes back around the brail and gets tied off.
I'll deal w these ARA anchors over the rail by hand on the port side. I have a bit of a harness rigged to keep me from falling overboard. I pick up the anchor w a boat hook and lift it up on deck. Anchors on deck is the usual for me.
Re the post I must have but up too many details. Many don't like details.
