Ultra Bow Roller Ultra Bow Roller are a marine-grade stainless steel fitting designed to facilitate anchor deployment and retrieval while protecting the boat's bow from damage. It is specifically engineered to decrease noise and limit extra anchor movements, featuring a security lock for the anchor shank. Ultra Bow Roller Key Features Noise and Scratch Reduction: The design minimizes noise and prevents scratches or abrasions to the boat by limiting anchor movement and using Delrin rollers to avoid metal-on-metal contact upon recovery. High-Quality Material: The main body (chute) of the bow roller is manufactured from hand-polished 316L stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and durability in challenging marine environments. Durable Rollers: The rollers are made of Delrin, a hard-wearing material that does not deform over time and requires no maintenance. Security Locking: The bow roller includes a security locking feature for the anchor shank to ensure it remains securely stowed while the boat is underway. Sophisticated Design: It features a "reversed-U" shaped retaining hoop that limits the anchor's movements and keeps the chain on the roller, eliminating the need for a traditional chain canal. Compatibility: While designed to perfectly match the various sizes of the Ultra Anchor for optimal performance, it can also accommodate other anchor types and can be ordered with custom connection holes. Articulating "Car" Option: A separate moving part, called the "Ultra Marine Bow Roller Car", is available, featuring smooth articulation for easier recovery, which can be retrofitted to other bow rollers with suitable dimensions. Various Sizes: The product is available in multiple sizes to accommodate a wide range of anchor weights and boat types. Ultra Bow Roller FAQs What materials are used? The main chute is constructed from 316L polished stainless steel, while the moving "Car" component is made from 318LN duplex polished stainless steel for superior strength. The rollers themselves are made of Delrin, a durable material that resists deformation and reduces noise. How does it improve anchor management? The design features a reversed-U retaining hoop that limits extraneous movement and prevents the anchor or chain from jumping off the roller. It also eliminates the need for a traditional "chain canal" or hole, which can interfere with anchor alignment. Which anchors are compatible? While specifically optimized for the Ultra Marine Anchor, these rollers are designed to fit a wide range of vessel types and various anchor styles. How do I choose the right size?Sizing is typically based on the weight of the anchor. Common models include: UBR8-18: For anchors 5kg to 8kg (11–18 lbs). UBR16-35: For anchors 12kg to 16kg (26–35 lbs). UBR27-60: For anchors up to 27kg (60 lbs). UBR35-77: For anchors up to 35kg (77 lbs). Is maintenance required for the rollers? Because the rollers are made of Delrin, they do not require regular lubrication and are designed not to deform over time. Does it prevent damage to my boat? Yes. The Delrin rollers and precision fit are specifically engineered to decrease noise, scratches, and metal-on-metal scrapes during anchor recovery.
