Easy to do, fits the original rail. I loved the Rocna, it caught every time.
I also have a Rocna 10 (10 KG / 22 pounds) on my R-25 and I really like it. I anchor a lot and the Rocna sets every time, even when I'm anchoring in weeds. I did not need to modify the anchor roller assembly or bail.

I have a Rocna 15 (33lbs) on our 25SC. Overkill but I believe this is one area where bigger is better. I sleep better when the wind picks up. I did change out the bail for a larger one for more clearance.

Just replaced the stock claw-type anchor on our R25sc with a Rocna 15kg. Fits perfectly.
