At one time, I had thought about converting to the thru pulpit design, but at this point, I am not willing to do serious modification. Thanks for the offer on it though, but one of the issues I am sure to have is clearing the winch post on the trailer. The existing pulpit setup now just barely...

Thanks guys, had to go back an study the pics on a larger monitor. Brian, what brand is your anchor roller assy? Is it the lewmar? The rollers are black and I think that Lewmar's are white? Dennis, I see the width is quite a bit wider for sure. It would be ideal to get one wide enough to...

Anyone out there that has some pics of their roller assembly where their Delta self launches without need for a push? Would like to see that setup. Guess I could consider making up a Starboard Wedge to fill the slot and make it flush with the surface of the pulpit, then mount a wider roller...

Thanks John! At least I am not the only one! Got home and did more analysis. Guess the reason I did not use a shackle is due that the channel is way too narrow for one. I wonder if this is a good reason why the anchor will not spin around. Valid point on trying to find a roller that might be...

As you slightly move the anchor forward, it does not touch the bail. I thought the bail was to help hold the anchor down so it would not bounce up and down, but you make a good point. I will fiddle with it some this weekend since I have to remove some of the cover to get to it and see how it...

I usually have to loosen rode from the windless enough to allow the anchor to move forward and sit at about a 45 degree angle. It is likely several inches moved forward to achieve this before it would launch on it's own. That is the weird part to me in having to move it so far forward before it...

Yeah, me too on the self launch. For sure I was thinking that the 22# would do the trick. That is quite a bit of weight sticking out there! I can actually pull the chain out manually and let it lay on the pulpit just to see if that was the restriction, but the anchor just lays there. This is...

Good points. The shurflo Pro Baitmaster is sealed and designed to run continuous. The Pro Blaster is sealed, but not designed to run continuous from what I read from Shurflo. These two pumps are both diagram type and not impeller, so they handle trash better than impeller, but from what I have...

Dennis, I just picked up something in your pic that is different that my setup. You have a shackle connecting from your anchor to your swivel. My Swivel is connected directly to the anchor. This would likely resolve my issue with the binding of the swivel on the anchor. Will see if I can dig out...

Oh yeah, Dennis, thanks for the dedication, but get some sleep! :-| The roller is loose and spins very well. I actually did add some grease to it to make sure. Also, I did not tighten the nylon lock nuts too much to keep it from binding. I think I am good there. I did have to make my own...

Ok, so when I first did this upgrade, I figured the old roller was in need of replacement after 20 years. I liked the hard why nylon type that Lewmar made, so installed one of those. After a few uses, it was showing signs of gouging and did not really gain much from the original roller I had. So...

Yeah, you get my point I think. The current valve is located in the aft access panel down low. Have to literally get on your knees and reach in with your arm far back to reach it and get a good hold on it to turn it. There is really no other area to install a valve as the hose runs under the...

I don't have the bow controls. I opted for the wireless remote instead. It has a momentary delay. Likely due to transmit time and reciept of the command. Lewmar mentions it in their manual for the remote. I only have one roller. If I try to continue to bring it up, it comes up, upside down...

Interesting, my old boat, I installed the pedestal in the floor with #12 SS Sheet metal screws. Largest I could find. The floor was carpet covered, thin layer of glass and 1/2" ply. I beat this boat in seas for years and never did the seat pedestal come loose. When I removed the base to put in...

Ok, so first year using the new Windlass and Lewmar Delta anchor. Moved from 13# to 22# model since my 13# just did not want to self lauch, so figured I needed more weight. However, the 22# will not self launch either. It does go out better, but still have to pull out a foot or so and drive...

I didn't have any problem last winter when I removed mine to repair/refinish it. I would first try to slide in some thin putty knife and see what you find/feel in that area. Keep trying all around and slight lift. If silicone, it should start to come free. Maybe apply some moderate upward...

So let me summarize what I think I know now... If my setup is with 2 shurflo Pro Blaster for washdown, Pro Baitmaster for livewell, I don't need any additional valved other than the primary seacock intake which is already there. I would be able to control flow to livewell just simply by...

My current setup is using the Shurflo Pro Baitmaster pump and switch back and forth between either livewell or washdown. I did an experiment this weekend while running offshore. I had the livewell valve open,and turned the pump off. I found that no water will go through the pump into the...

Thanks and good points!

Hmm, never thought about this but one could fashion up some large diameter PVC tubes, end cap them with the glue and use a series of these to hold the air space and not soak up any water. And the will allow drainage. Could only install these when the bracket is off of course and custom fit them...
