Bow Roller Material

Hello Steve, Would you please tell me the material you used for anchor rollers on Windhorse? Is there a good mix between something soft (quiet) enough and durable? Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill: We have used UHMW plastic for bow rollers and chain skids for many years. It is very tough and long lasting. But you will not get much support for a long span shaft through it so the pin has to be beefy or a metal sleeve used for stiffness. – Steve
