ANCHOR ROLLER CONVERSION KIT, FOR BOATS WITH 3/4 INCH AXLE

 
ANCHOR ROLLER CONVERSION KIT, FOR BOATS WITH 3/4 INCH AXLE image
 

This clever idea is from hunter.sailboatowners.com/member.php?u=74140">Rich Stidger, owner of a Hunter 40.5 and long-time forum member.


As you certainly know by now, there are very few anchor wheels that can handle a 3/4 inch axle, and those you can find are expensive. This conversion kit installs in seconds and allows you use to any 1/2 inch wheel, available everywhere for under $10.


The kit includes two aluminum-bronze bushings custom fabricated to act as reducers. Simply remove the existing wheel and pin. Insert the bushings into the holes used by the pin, then pop in the stainless steel 1/2" axle (sold separately, below). Use any 1/2" wheel of your choice, then secure using the provided stainless steel washers and lock nut.


It's no more difficult replacing the wheel and will pay for itself -- and then some -- with the first replacement.


All components have been chosen for their strength and resistance to corrosion.


To purchase: Enter a quantity for the bushing kit. Then enter a quantity for the desired axle (bolt) length: 4, 4-1/2, or 5 inches. Finally, enter a quantity for the roller wheel if desired.

Made to order: No
