Removing Anchor Rode?

[bmetro]

It's me again, Bill, with a 2002 Maxum 2700 SCR.
I want to clean/soak my anchor rode, but I'm not sure how hard it is to put it back once I figure how to remove it. I guess I could hit the switch on the Lewmar? until it all feeds out, but how do I get the rode back in?
Is there a way to pull it through the bottom easily? Any help on this would be appreciated.

I just hope I don't have to replace it. I'll never figure out how to attach it to the anchor chain.

bill...glad you could join us again......

are you looking to take it totally out??...well..if your are just let the lewmar pay it out....it's connected to an l-bracket that is on the underside of a cleat...what I did with mine is tied it to a d-ring and just clipped it onto the l-bracket....that way if I needed too I could just unclip it and I was good..it's so big that it wouldn't go thru the hausepipe....so...the only way to totally remove it would be to untie it from the d-ring.....then when done cleaning...just put it back in ..tie it back to the d-ring and hook the d-ring back to the l-bracket..then use the lewmar to feed it back thru and into the line locker....

I do mine about once a yr...
