I am looking to replace the bail portion of my windless on a 2021 R7. Part circled in red below. Ideas on the part number or where to source, it has been difficult to get any info from Cobalt except to buy the entire windlass.

Sorry to hear about your windlass problems. What happened to the existing bail? What is its function?

It looks like a fairly simple part that any local fab or welding shop could make. They probably could make it stronger than the original part.

I bet the screws came loose and off it came. I'm sure the OP will chime in and tell us for sure. I have tightened both of those screws a number of times.

Completely user error, I hit the front of a dock and bent the bail. The existing one is still functional, but I prefer an undamaged one. It is possible the existing one can be bent back to shape with some skill.

Fortunately, the anchor in the picture is not mine, I used that picture for reference.

Worth a shot if the measurements are correct, looks very similar.....

Can you determine who made the anchor roller for Cobalt?

I'm going to look at mine tomorrow, I'd think the anchor and roller may be made by the same company....From memory it's not Lewmar.

Obviously, Cobalt should have this info and provided it to the OP they asked.

Look for similar parts

I thought it was Lewmar, no? If you're just stuck trying to find something similar, there are lots of them out there. Posting a size (even just distance between mounts) would help, but maybe someplace like: https://kingstonanchors.com/products/ba ... ow-rollers or https://www.p2marine.com/schaefer-boom-bails

Thanks for all the help. I will review the measurement of items in the responses and let everybody know if one fits. Cobalt has only provided parts for the full windlass, not just the bail.

I lost my bail also, screw fell out and into the water it went. Gotta add some blue loctite. I would love to get the replacement info as well if someone figures it out

Just today replaced both bolts that hold the bail and front roller as one wobbled loose over time and fell out.

West Marine had the bolt and Lewmar parts, which is what my 2019 R5 Surf has on it. I wasn’t looking for parts like that but I did see several pieces of what looked like partial parts (vs while windlass and accessories)
