Replaced the anchor rollers in my bow pulpit

I've never heard of anyone having to replace the rollers in the bow pulpit, but I managed to wear mine out.  I guess you could say my anchor gets used a lot.  The forward roller was broken in half, and the other was almost worn through.  

Rinker Boat Anchor Pulpit Roller 221585B | 2 x 2-5/8 Inch White Nylon 1078060
$20 each at GLS

[edit:  @icoultha learned that it's Lewmar part number 75505-2, available for $30 from Defender and elsewhere.]

Installation was a 15-minute job.  Drop the anchor, lay on belly, lift the chain off the rollers, use two 14mm wrenches.  Number of wrenches and glasses dropped into river, zero.

    I broke a piece off last season after tweaking the anchor in the lock. I went looking and didn’t find them even on GLS, mustn’t have searched right. Then somehow I stumbled upon this Lewmar part number - 75505-2 and this is a 2 roller kit with new hardware. $29.13, fisheries supply.com who had them shipped from Lewmar direct home. Getting fitted tomorrow.

    Great find!  Defender has it too.  I thought I had looked everywhere, but I missed that one.

    Does anyone know if this will fit a 270?  Looks the same to me but I need to measure.  Just busted mine off as well!

    Anyone know what the part is that is the little half loop at the front of the roller? Connects both sides of the roller. Mine is bent (not by me!) and want to replace. Or maybe I can have it re-shaped?

    I was able to re-shape mine by standing on a ladder and using my weight/foot to put it back into position.

    Got an Anchor-Guard from Mantus that hangs on the bow roller bolt. Haven't installed yet. Need to get a longer SS thru bolt.
    Guard holds the anchor snug once set properly.
