Upgrading a 44 year old bow roller for blue water cruising: DIY Boat Refit Progress 7

Here we give some background looking at the decisions being implemented in our video "Refit progress, backing plate for our new bow roller"    • Huge backing plate for our new bow ro...   (that is the video I was trying to point to).
We are refitting a 44 year old Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement in a few years.
Two years ago, when we bought Vida she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings. We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all electric (motor, cooking etc).
Now that the inside is dry (thanks to new windows, new hatches and leak chasing) we are fitting her out for live-aboard world cruising.
