What this video covers

Brittany and Jeremiah replace their 2013 Rocna anchor with a new Mark II model.0:48 The upgrade involves swapping the older, thinner-shank anchor for the newer version, which features a thicker, beveled shank.2:25 To perform the swap, the crew ties off the anchor chain, drops the old unit, and secures the new anchor to the chain using a shackle and safety wire.1:46 The new anchor fits the existing bow roller and locking mechanism without modification.3:24 Jeremiah, a former F/A-18 jet engine mechanic, applies safety wire to the shackle to prevent the anchor from separating from the chain.4:08 The process proves straightforward, requiring significantly less effort than a previous chain replacement.3:45
