Have you seen this bow roller

I bought a second hand boat (from 1998). It has a bow anchor roller built into its bowsprit. I would need spares for it, but I have no clue where I might find those. The roller has no visible signs of who the manufacturer might have been. Does anyone recognize it from the picture below? It has a tilting support for the anchor, with rolls at both ends. One of the rolls was damaged and removing it also destroyed its axis. The remains and the axis and roll are seen in the pictures.

Obviously I can take these to a workshop and have new ones made, but probably it would be cheaper and quicker if they were available somewhere. Thanks for your help already in advance!

Re: Have you seen this bow roller

A Sheave is a Sheave.

Anchor rollers are more common than you think.

Take it to your local boat Chanderly and see if they can find in in the catalogs.

You might want to try rubber construction next time instead of ABS, it might last longer.

Re: Have you seen this bow roller

That fitting was probably custom made for the boat builder. The center will be easy to replace. Just get a large SS bolt . . . . looks about 3/8". Bow roller pins are mostly 1/2" or 3/8". You might need several washers or spacers to center the sheave.

The wheel itself looks like a Windline.

Kingston also have a good range.
