lost bow roller pin

[dave.m...@portoftyne.co.uk]

the lanyard holding my bow roller pin snagged/snapped and i lost the
pin in the drink. Cant see any makers name on the roller but it is
quite substantialfor a CQR anchor. Anyone one know where I may be
likely to get another pin "off the shelf"? the pin has a collar, hole
for lanyard and a key on one end to lock pin in holes. Annoyed about
losing it....ho hum. Thanks. Dave Millings

I would think you need to measure and record the pin diameter, the length
under the head to the inside of the integral key when in the locked
position. (This would usually be the outside width of the bow roller +
working clearance of maybe 2-3mm or so) Then visit your local chandler with
the measurements or try this link below. Hope this helps

Thanks very much for that. The drop nose pin will be ideal. :-)
