I am not pleased. A certain retailer whose name starts with west and ends with marine used to carry some pretty beefy anchor rollers. Apparently that product line was replaced with Lewmar products. I ordered some new bow rollers and they came in today. The material is LESS THAN 1/2 what they used to sell. They had one of the old rollers in stock which appeared to be .1825" stock. The Lewmar products were barely 1/16." The new bow rollers were so flimsy that I could literally bend them with my hands. Of course they are made in China now instead of California like the old product line. I consider anchor handling and ground tackle gear as part of my safety gear, and am frankly insulted that a company like Lewmar is attempting to make a profit on supplying a product that doesn't deserve to be fitted to a rowboat. Of course the price isn't any better!!!
Shame on you Lewmar!
