Thanks for the thought! I'm fixed up. See pic... 
In Response To: Westy -- I have a spare anchor roller in my garage ()
The not quite finished in this pic but now ready to install bowsprit/roller. Channel for the chain to rid in/on (just a whim) and all but the foreward six inches of the "sprit" is actually on the foredeck putting the chain hole just in front of the forecabin. Got a fifteen pound Manson Supreme anchor for the roller which will fit the roller well but may require a tweak or two in actual practice..
