Bow Roller Attachement

[Scotty Mac]

I recently purchased a 2014 R25 SC . The bow roller that secures the anchor is missing 2 of the 4 bolts that attach it to the deck. I put in new bolts but they won't grab so I'm assuming the they orginally had nuts holding them inplace. How do you access the space so I can replace nut as well. I tried from the v-birth but can't get past the rope locker.

If my memory serves me right you access from inside the anchor locker. Did you open the lid from the outside and check to see if these are accessible?

Thank you,

We have a 2015 R25SC and the anchor roller is attached with two bolts at the aft end and one in the center further forward. You can not access them through the anchor locker. Have you tried removing the triangular panel at the front of the V-berth? It is only attached with two screws and that might get you access, but I do not know because I have had no reason to remove that panel.

Thanks for the reply, I did try and access via the "V" shaped panel in the v-birth. No luck the line locker hangs down and I can't get my arm up past it. I have not looked in the locker yet but don't think it has an access to that, seem to remember it was solid.
The rubber bumpers? on the bow look to be removable but would not want to with out knowing they would allow access. Andrew Custis any chance of that?
