Anchor Roller for Hydrobubble

[Shark Bait II]

I purchased a Hydrobubble CC45BA (30#) to use on the boat I am having built. Anchor Concepts sells a light duty anchor roller to use with the Hydrobubble but I want a heavier duty roller and was told just about any anchor roller that will work with a Bruce or CQR anchor will work.

My builder normally uses the Windline BMR3 for this size boat, which is listed for Bruce anchors, so I instructed him to use the BMR3. He has E-Mailed me that the BMR3 will not work but did not explain why. Earlier attempts, 3 or 4, to get information from Windline about their recommendations for a Hydrobubble went unanswered and phone calls were not returned.

For those of you using a Hydrobubble anchor what anchor roller are you using? Any recommendations from anyone for a heavy duty anchor roller that is compatible with the CC45BA Hydrobubble? Since Glen uses a Hydrobubble I am also corresponding with him to see what he has on his boat.

On Monday I will contact Anchor Concepts and Windline and try again to get some information on anchor - anchor roller compatibility. Any additional recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I got a hydro bubble and I have a URM4 on my bow. No prblems stowing or rolling off the rollers.

Hydro bubbles are great anchors. Good luck.



I had to edit from a URM3 to a URM4. I forgot the 3 is larger than the 4.
