HI, My Kadey Krogen's anchor roller was badly worn. I could not find a suitable replacement anywhere. So I designed my own. I made it bigger and to fit the exact chain that I am using. Hopefully this will help guide the chain onto the gypsy accurately and reduce wear. Time will tell. Although I made this one by hand, I have a CNC shop and could produce them easily. I made this one from UHMW plastic which is very tough, but difficult to machine as it is stringy. Most of the ones for sale are made from Delrin (Acetal) which is easy to machine.
I was wondering if there was a market for a custom made anchor roller? If so, it would allow the boat owner to take some measurements and design one that works good on their boat.
