MF 795 factory installed anchor problems

[ihsan]

                If you got your anchor (12 kg)  and the bow anchor section  delivered from the factory in Poland with the head
reel without a channel as  in the picture, I strongly recommend you to change it with a  reel as seen in the second picture which has a channel and listed as size 52x82 mm.   The 8 mm chain from lewmar, again installed and fitted by the factory, fits the channel perfectly thus your lewmar starts to perform better.  In addition, the anchor provided by the factory rests in complete vertical form without inclining to the right or left in park position.  With what Poland has provided, you may end up with a chain resting on one side of the bow while pulling your anchor as I have experienced a few times, causing serious difficulties at sea. 

                Since these plastic reels are really cheap metarials, I think the factory is not aware what the customers go through because of their carelessness. The cost of 52x82 mm reel I found in İzmir, Turkey is about 6 euros.
