plaicemat Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Can anyone suggest where I can get a plate for the gunnel of my Warrior 165 for protection during anchor retrieval (Alderney ring method)? Despite best efforts, chain and gunnel sometimes come into contact. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
