Bow Roller for my 2006 232 Captiva?

Based in UK, I love our 232 Captiva, but my only criticism is the lack of a Bow Roller as we do a lot of anchoring. The place where one might be is taken up with a small nav light. Can anyone suggest a solution/suitable fitting?

    If a dedicated bow roller proves prohibitive, either from a cost or installation perspective you may wish to consider a collapsible anchor (some Danforth styles) that can be kept in a canvas bag with the chain and rope rode and stored under a seat or in a box in the engine compartment. If you use the two bow cleats with a Prusik Knot the load would be spread between the cleats and not cause undue stress to either cleat. Maybe a possibility? MT

    I always thru my anchor line over the rail when I was on the hook. My 232cc only had one cleat, so it worked well.
