Author	Topic:   Anchor Roller
floater88	posted 03-16-2012 08:13 PM ET (US)         I scored a Urm 4 to mount on the front of my Revenge 20 WT. What i'd like to know is do i just reel up the 20 lb anchor tight against the roller and it's good like that? I don't want to find out the hard way if it comes loose while under way! Or do I reel up the anchor and just put it back in the locker? Thanks

I don't mind the anchor being in the locker but it bangs around in there even with a big rubber mat under it. I don't anchor that often just yet but soon I hope to be cruising and camping more. Thanks
