Yes, but it won't clear the bottom of the roller furler, assuming you've got the stock height Shaeffer unit. You will have to wiggle it up the last foot or so on an angle. There's quite a bit of discussion about this issue on the forum here, just recently another thread chewed it over. It's not a problem unique to the Manson, the Delta has the same issue though not quite as bad. Check Larry Brandt's anchor survey PDF, the last boat on it is ours and it shows the Manson albeit on an 8" or so longer than the stock roller. The longer roller is better than stock but does not entirely solve the problem.
I have the Harken Roller on my 89 MK1 and have the same question as the original poster. The Harken roller is higher than others so I think the shaft will clear that but my concern is if the anchor tip will clear the bow with the Stock (very short) anchor roller.:confused:
My current arrangement is with a 35lb CQR and I would like to upgrade to the 45 Manson.

I saw that video before. I thought I had to call bullhist on that. If you look at the sand where they "test" the other anchors it's obviously well packed, there are tire tracks all over it. If you stop the video and look closely at where they test their anchor, there is maybe 1 tire track, likely from the pulling vehicle. So I'm expecting it is not the same chunk of ground. I always have great suspicion of companies that try to sell their stuff by knocking the other guy's stuff.
I wonder if Maine Sail has tested it? He has done a lot of these tests and I would believe his results over the manufacturer results.
The ease of storage would be a good feature, but I think you would be giving up some strength/safety factor versus a welded anchor. Bolts can and do work loose, especially when vibration is involved.

The value of Larry's survey is showing already! Kudos, Larry.

Thanks, Duane. But the document as it is now is only a beginning. We need more people to send in photos and info on their anchors.

Aye, yi, yi. Not another anchor debate... run for cover! :D
