Re: Stus-List Anchor chain cover
When one of my crew lost the cover overboard, I bought a new hawse pipe made of polished stainless steel on EBay for about $29US. The cap on this one is on a hinge and spring loaded so it stays in place (open the cap and slide it on the hinge and it props open for letting out or recovering chain).

New one from the catalogues would likely require removal of the vertical tube housing and rebedding of the new one.

How much room is between the sheaves? Enough to install a padeye with two fasteners? That would hold up to the loads better than a single point attachment system.

Hi Patrick, Try the Sidney Sailor exchange (or whatever they call the damn thing these days, humbug). http://www.theboaters-exchange.com/ It might take some time wading through all the old stuff but I wouldn't be surprised if you find what you need. BTW, take a pencil rub of your deck pipe oval so you can match it. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 There comes a time in a man's life when he hears the call of the sea.
