[Rhodes22-list] Metal anchor holder disaster...

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Hi Tony,

It’s a little hard to tell what you are referring to as “the cage” in your photos.  However, Schaefer makes a “Fluke-Style Anchor Rail Mount”, Schaeffer P/N: SCHAE#AH-100, that looks exactly like what your anchor is mounted to on the bow pulpit in the photos.  West Marine sell it for $74.99, West Marine Catalog No: 8241333.  I have one of these anchor rail mounts on S/V Dynamic Equilibrium.  I use a Velcro cinch strap to secure the anchor shank to one of the uprights on the bow pulpit, so it doesn’t flop around or foul a sheet.  Hopefully, this helps.

Okay, had a bit of a boat collision today.  MY FAULT, and the other, much-larger, boat suffered a bent metal post.  Unfortunately, the metal anchor-holding "cage" has been bent to hell and back.  Now what?  Did the Rhodes makers use a "cage" specific to this boat, or is it a generic design that I might be able to find used?  The fittings that held this metal in place are in perfect shape, with no cracked fiberglass or anything like that.  Photos included (not my boat) with close-up of the "cage!"Thanks, ya'llTonyMarblehead
