Installed a harken mark iv on phantom corsair, hull 6. Drum seems low
and anchor thwacks it when pivoting into place on roller. This saddens
me.The boat came with no anchor pulpit, so roller is right off stem. Do
others use an extension to raise the drum higher? (harken or
otherwise) how high do our drums generally sit?Ps: max hoist on ketch as installed is 42’8″.

Adam,
I have an earlier version of the Harken (came with the boat) and it has the same problem. Sounds like you have an electric windlass and want to pull the anchor all the way into the roller. I have a manual windlass, so I'm used to pulling the anchor into the roller by hand. You can raise the drum, but that will involve cutting down the foil and possibly the luff of the sail. I suggest just live with it as I do. Pull the anchor up to the roller, then when you have time go forward and secure it in the roller.On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 3:27 PM, adam silverstein < ([email][/email])> wrote:

Here’s a not so great shot of my bow, roller is mounted on the bow with no bow pulpit or anchor platform:

Here’s a good shot of a P424 for sale in Houston, TX that has an anchor platform. Looks nice but it has not vertical support so I’m not sure I like the design.

Owners no more...
Thanks Dawn and Patrick! -

This was my solution. Today I actually raised the anchor and washed down the chain with my new wash down pump. Two years may seem like a long time but I just like messing about I guess.

We have the same bow platform as the Texas boat. At some time before us, poor Clairbuoyant put enough stress on the platform to bend it down 1/2″ on one side, and deform a large Danforth anchor. We bent it back but now it is showing some stress cracking on one side. The platform is surprising sturdy considering there is no lower support. Actually, a support would have to be very long or almost horizontal, not very helpful.
We have an electric horizontal windlass and a large Manson Supreme anchor. Coming up is ok, but the anchor shank always whacks the Harken drum on the way down. Amazing how much abuse the Harken can take!
