Paul, Greg Swetka and I each had a replacement bow roller made by White Water Marine in Michigan. We both have CC 35 MkII’s. Greg sent them his original aluminum casting (without the bow roller) and they made one of stainless steel with a single bow roller for each of us for about $1200. For $200 more, they added stanchion sockets and new stanchions to the bow casting as it extended further aft than the old one (without the roller). It fit beautifully and I have had no trouble with it. White Water people were very pleasant to deal with - I talked mostly with Mike. Eric Frank Cat’s Paw Mattapoisett, MA
