Holt Drop Nose Bow Roller Alu (7181D)

The Holt Drop Nose Bow Roller Alu (7181D) is a heavy-duty bow roller built for anchor and bow chain systems, combining an aluminium alloy structure with a drop-nose design for smooth anchoring and recovery. The drop-nose feature allows the anchor to sit securely and launch smoothly, reducing wear on the hull and hardware. While exact specification details for the 7181D were limited in the supplied link, the product type is described generically as “DROP NOSE BOW ROLLER – Made of marine aluminium alloy (Al-Mg5), with 10-micron anodization” which delivers excellent corrosion resistance for marine environments.

Features

• Made from marine-grade aluminium alloy (Al-Mg5) with anodised finish for corrosion protection in saltwater conditions
• Drop-nose design allows anchor to settle neatly and deploy smoothly, reducing hull contact and wear
• Ideal for heavier anchors/chains or robust systems where a standard roller may be insufficient
• Suitable for Irish coastal and offshore use where hardware must perform reliably in challenging conditions
• Helps reduce anchor-chain jolts or scraping against the hull when launching or retrieving in waves
• Oversized, robust construction offers improved lifespan compared with lighter generic rollers
• Compatible with many bow setups - check mounting dimensions and hull plate thickness during installation
