A friend lent me his Roccna 33 anchor to use this winter while in the Caribbean. This evening we hoisted it up into the roller. I do not have the chain attached yet , so its not pulled back real tight, but it rocks very much back and forth and rolls side to side. I am concerned  that wave action will have it banging around and the rolling on its narrow shank will wear on the roller. My Bruce sits very still and I am thinking about returning the Roccna to my friend and just a couple days ago I almost bought a new one. What do you owners do, to keep your Roccnas for bouncing around in the roller ?

This account I am afraid rather chimes with my recent experience with SAV and a linear actuator replacement – I was left with a distinct feeling of lack of confidence and felt it prudent to source the materials elsewhere.

Derick,

I asked that exact question among others to SAV today.

To my surprise the answer that I received the second time I asked was exactly opposite of the response I got the first time just a day ago. I am certainly not criticizing anyone, because anyone can make a mistake, anytime.

Here is what I think (key word,  think):

The bronze/stainless wear bushing that Bob Rossi received in March 2014 is either an abberation, a prototype, or something that is old. My last email to SAV informed me that the one Rossi received was the "old bushing." Here is the quote:

"" Sorry, my mistake, It is the otherwise. I hadn’t understood your question’s meaning.

On picture you sent, bushing is in steel chrome, it is the old bushing.

Today, it is a new supplier, we have the same one but in bronze. That’s the only difference.

For Amel 64, it is a bronze bushing too but in bigger size.

I hope my explanation are clearer.

Don’t hesitate questioning.

Regards
Emilie BALLION""

So, I am not 100% sure what is going on.

I will wait for some other people smarter than me to give assurances as to why Bob Rossi received a wear bushing from Amel made of bronze and stainless.

Bill,

 

Question: Do you (or anyone else) know whether the old wear-out bearings and their seals can be "mix and matched" with the new wear-out bearing and seals, or are they incompatable in size?

Alexandre,
I will be staying at the
Royal Palm Yacht Basin, which is a short. run down the Dania
cut-off canal. I was there 2+months last year. Only a few
miles from port everglades, no bridges to go under, haul out
facilities right there if needed. Not a yacht club by any
means, but certainly not a dump.
There were
3 Amels there when I was there last year.
I'll be bringing Spirit down there for a
month in November.
