Had to make another anchor rope cleat for the front of the boat, I had made a cross bollard for the front of the boat a while ago to tie the anchor chain and rope to, but when I started to assemble the electric winch with the front bow roller, the chain would hit the post of the bollard and the anchor shank D shackle would also do the same, so a different shape was called for, so after a bit of head scratching, I made this new one, the anchor chain/rope will go through the middle and the D shackle will just clear it.
Unfortunately I have to work with the existing positions and size of the anchor well including the cutouts that are already there on this boat, so I have to change things occasionally on the fly, and so the cross bollard gets replaced.
8mm 316 for the base, 19mm rod and some 5mm 316 for the "ears".
