Modifications & Equipment / Re: Replace Delta anchor with Rocna

Depends on your anchoring. If you want to live at anchor in any weather, definitely go with the 25kg. Suited us well! We painted ours yellow so we can see it in clear water.

If you're just leaving the marina to anchor for lunch in calm weather, don't bother replacing the Delta.

Definitely not. A Rocna has almost twice the holding power of a Delta so why would you want a larger anchor? Your 40 is towards the top end of the recommended sizing for a 16kg, but I could understand if you are expecting to be anchoring in extreme conditions a 20kg might sound attractive, but in "normal" use you will never be able to access the additional holding power. Rocna specifically advise against oversizing. You may find a roll bar anchor does not fit well on your bow roller and a non roll bar anchor like a Rocna Vulcan or an Epsilon is a better bet. All of these will outperform your Delta, even keeping to 16kg.

The previous owner didn't lock one of the portlights properly, as a result rain water got in and ruined all the electronics underneath it, including battery chargers.
Now my battery chargers are water resistant 😉.
Moral of the story, on a boat, always put yourself in the worst case scenario

Modifications & Equipment / Replace Delta anchor with Rocna

I want to replace my 16kg Delta with a Rocna anchor. 
For a 40 foot Bav, I’m planning to go with the 20kg version.
Would you recommend going to 25kg?

Just if someone is interested in this thread I found a couple of models with CD player and Bluetooth. They are also water resistant, although in the place where we have the radio it's supposed we don't need to be water resistant I don't mind to pay extra for that feature.

Now I have to look for my headphones 🎧😜

I'm not being facetious here, but due to the nature of the majority, if not all radio/stereo installations high up in the internal joinery of a yacht...
If you actually required the benefits of 'Water Resistance'...It's rather too late.................

I am going to replace the one in the chart table for this one

The good point is that with the same bulb and the same switch you can choose between white and red light which is fine when you are sailing at night

Hi Jake, no doubt that the result is really good. Do you have pictures from the inside to see how did you fit the backing plates?
