The bow roller assembly is standard equipment on most
Vista™ models. On certain models the bow roller It
extends beyond the bow and above the anchor chute
while other models have an integrated bow roller/anchor
chutecombination. RefertoFiguresM10andM11.
The
function of the bow roller is to allow easier retrieval of the
anchor. It also protects the hull/deck from surface abra-
sions or gouges when either moored or retrieving the
anchor.
