This fitting is fairly good as-is, but I really think it is provisional, as I had not enough images to work from.

This item would likely be painted steel, and likely to be fouled and rusted.

Installation Notes

Use the supplied cylinder (see lower image to right) to place the toroidal opening for the anchor pipe normal to the side of the ship where the anchor pipe emerges. Use that cylinder to cut the hull to make a hole before deleting the cylinder.

On different vessels, you may have to delete the pipe and place the two ends of it on deck and cheek of the prow separately, and then re-build the pipe.

Once you have positioned the deck-top opening (and rebuilt the pipe if needed), use the pipe to cut the deck so you have an opening. Join any surfaces you need to to establish continuity. All should look good at that point.
