mine lived on the pulpit, until this past weekend, see repair section. my new fathers day anchor with safety wire also lives on the bow. the po of my boat kept it in the deck box behind the seats and that was very inconvienent. i built a pulpit with roller about 15 years ago and love it. i like it because i can lower and retrieve and never get on the foredeck. i also use an anchor ball to retrieve and can pull in the line from the cabin. i was doing a lot of diving then and have about 35' of chain.
as you can see, it helps keep things organized
