My MK1 still has the original stubby anchor roller. After test fitting the Ronca 10 and 15 over the weekend, the smaller of the two Anchor Rollers from CD will have sufficient length. Is the hoop/cage on this CD roller deep enough to accommodate the flange on the Rocna 15? Tech support is closed now, but figured someone here would already know. Thanks.

Ended up going with a Lewmar short Delta anchor roller through Amazon:

Nice roller, it fit the Rocna 15 and MK1 perfectly.
Used three $15 carbide tipped SawZaw blades to cut the starboard side roller off, cleaned up with an angle grinder, and kept everything cool with breaks in the cutting every few seconds and soaking with a wet towel.
The new roller required a small notch on the port side vertical leg near the center cleat to allow clearance for lines. Matched drilled the existing roller's front mounting hole and original roller horizontal hole for an additional mount. Two new holes through the deck. Used MaineSail's methods to prep and seal the holes. 3/16" thick SS316 backer plate for the three vertical mounting holes and 3/8" military grade SS hardware from McMaster Carr. Happy how it turned out.
New project is to mount a cleat on the starboard anchor locker to secure a short line keeping the anchor drawn tight. What is behind that sub wall with the molded shelf? Welcome to ideas here.
