Best Placement of Anchor Roller? (Pictures)

Hello again,

(Sorry for posting so much; it's that time of year)

I am planning a big cruise in a small boat, up the coast of Maine in a Pearson 26,
and I bought a 35lb plow anchor to be as secure as possible. It's big for my boat, I know, but I am going to be leaving my boat for at least a week in it's final destination, where tidal currents are strong.

Now I am dealing with the problem of how to manage this thing on deck, since it is too big and heavy to hall aft every time I weigh anchor. I would like to put a bow roller on to help with hauling it up and to stow it when I'm not using it. As you can see from the pictures, the immediate bow is already cluttered with chocks and cleats.

Is there any reason I shouldn't mount the bow roller off to the starboard side more, just aft of the first pulpit stantion? This does not seem like the ideal place but on this boat I don't have many options. Thoughts, anyone?
