    So your anchor was too small for the roller?  Instead of spending $275 on a different roller, I'd invest that money on a bigger anchor.

    I'm just wondering why it wouldn't drop by itself.  That ain't right.  I'm thinking the anchor was too short for the roller.  Rinker would not outfit it that way from the factory.  

    Every boat should have the biggest anchor that will fit the boat and the wallet.  Bigger is always better for holding power, which, when you need it you need it.

    Bigger anchor.  Nobody ever told their insurance company that the boat grounded because the anchor was too big.
