Need better pics- that is a funky looking install though... you removed it??

They come in various lengths, depending on how much room you need and the length/type of anchor.

A Danforth style anchor needs a pivoting roller (from the link provided above) as this type anchor will not "self-launch" with a windlass.

If you use a Delta type anchor, you can use a non-pivoting type, as these type anchors are self-launching.
