Re: spare anchor
 

I really don't know, just heard it called a 'deck pipe'. (years ago)Before we (family business) got into big generators (progressed from marine generators) we were a marine supply store. There was a lot of junk left over from a moving sale that's slowly being depleted to other uses. Of course I went through those few boxes and retrieved whatever I thought might be valuable. The deck pipe was in there. I like it. It works. I know the West Marine/Boat US/et.al. have round deck pipes with caps on them for just such a use. But I like mine. ;D

It's called a Hawse Pipe or Hawse Plate. Typically used for inboard cleats to be mounted below.

Re: spare anchor
 

On larger boats, with a chain anchor rode and a deck mounted windlass, the pipe, that leads from the water to the deck is a hawse pipe the chain then goes around the windlass and through the"chain pipe" into the chain locker....every time somebody posts a pic on here it goes into the "can I use that one my boat" file. Thanks for the ideas

I don't have a pic :-[ But I keep my rope in the forward cabin coiled nice in a bucket, so it will feed out nice.
Once it is pulled out it stays out all day then I recoil at the end of the day back it the bucket.
