Derek, I made sure that the wiring for the hull-mounted Nav lights was secure and out of the way. (I have removed them since then)
I also used a large triangular piece of aluminum diamond plate as a backing for the bow roller. I have never had an issue with water. By the time I haul the anchor in, over the roller, the line is pretty well wrung out, so there is not a lot of water getting in there. No. There is no intrusion into the vee berth.
