Replacement anchor

[Fenders]

On our 2004 B32 we have the original CQR type anchor which has seen better days.

Having read numerous reviews we have decided that a Lewmar Delta (16kg) would be suitable.
Does anyone know if this will fit on the existing bow roller and does the anchor locker lid need any modification?
Thanks

I would template your current CQR anchor stank/ shaft with carton and look for a delta anchor with equal weight and matching shape. In that way the least modification you will need to do and nothing to disturbing as a non fitting anchor...
You may have an issue with the different angle the flukes of the anchor are in, comparing CQR and Delta.. Delta angle is bigger than CQR.. in the end, prof of the pudding is fitting it with the possibility to return the anchor..

I think you will find that a 10kg is more than adequate. The original was 25lb CQR type. Suspect that a 16kg Delta will be too big physically. If you look at Lewmar sizing chart you will find your boat is right in the middle of the 10kg recommended range.lewmar.com/delta-galvanised-anchor
