Team,
Has anyone installed a bow roller on the 2004 Sundowner 205 :?: Ideally I would also like an electric winch to complete the package.

Cheers
Kym

I installed a bow roller on one of my old boats. Use thick fender washers to spead out the load. Also, make sure the roller in mounted far enough out, so the anchor is NOT hitting the bow.

As to the windlass (electric winch), down load the specs on the one you want to install. It will tell you how much room is needed, above & below the deck. Remember to, it neededs to be wired in. This will be #8 to #6 wire depending on the run.

Found a local dealer to modify and fit the winch and sharp looking roller matching the bow rails :lol:
