How to Tell if Anchor Will Fit on Roller ?

Im looking to replace my current anchor with one of the following (3) choices and am wondering if there is a way I can tell if these anchors will fit on my existing anchor roller? I currently have a 45lb bruce. Im wondering what measurements to take on the boat end to then compare against the proposed anchors. Or am I over thinking this and should not worry cause any one of these 3 anchors will fit just fine?

1. Rocna Series 25 (Canandian made)
2. Manson Supreme 60 lb
3. Delta 65 lb

Ha ha thats a good one. Wauquiez Amphitrite Ketch is what I have. I suppose I will measure width and lenght of exiting roller as well as overhang and angle of stem. I was just wondering if there was a standard set of measurements to take that I could compare against the anchor specs.

Rocna's website has paper templates that you can print out, tape together and see if the specific model will fit. I did that and everything worked out fine.

Ohhhhhhhh ....you were talking about guys *fixing* stuff, as opposed to expressing exaggerations of measurable items.

Gotcha!
