Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

Although I’m not a great fan of having any more components than absolutely needed in an anchor rode, a swivel installed between the chain and anchor can ensure the anchor can rotate and more easily traverse the roller than a shackle. Locktite is a good thing to use when installing a swivel.

I'd be careful with any abrasive products. They'll eventually wear off the gelcoat. The only abrasive I would even suggest for gelcoat is AquaBuff 2000. It's a polishing compound. It will smooth and polish gelcoat but is still lightly abrasive. I used to use SoftScrub with bleach but decided

A swivel is a weak point on the anchor. When I set up my anchor I had to make sure that when the anchor came up it was clocked right on the chain. I just wish my roller furler was higher so the anchor shank would clear, but the PO didn't consult me on that.  Doug
