I have tried zippy ties, but they break when the winch pulls the plough up to the bow roller? And trying to get it to sit straight on the roller is a problem. The chain pulls the anchor sideways when I try and use 5mm nylon to the d shackle on the anchor.

I realise that I could attach a separate line to the eye, but the idea of the winch was so I could do this single handed. With a full cabin, getting up front to handle another line is a chore.

Any hints?

Thanks

Bigger zip tie, pull the anchor in the last little bit yourself (dunno how your winch setup works, that might not be practical) or just put a new one on each time?
