Bow roller pictures please

[Bud]

I want to add an anchor/bow roller to my son's Sunday Cat. The oem attachment for the head stay is a SS bow eye installed perpendicular to the length of the boat. I would be right in the middle of the anchor roller that I want to install. I would like to see a pic of the factory installation to see if they rotated the head stay attachment so an anchor shank could lay to either side.

I have an extra roller I could take to my local welder and have him weld the bow eye attachment to it.

Thanks in advance.

My 2012 SunDayCat has the factory anchor bow roller.
I can get you some pictures, perhaps tomorrow.

The headstay block and tackle base hoop is welded to the anchor bow roller structure.
The anchor's shank fits through that hoop, under the block and tackle.
The anchor is an 11 lb Lewmar claw anchor with an ~18.5 inch overall length.

Thanks for the answer. I never thought about having the anchor shank go thru the bow eye that is attached to the anchor roller.

Following are pictures, taken from a variety of perspectives, of the anchor bow roller on my 2012 SunDayCat:
