I don't anchor much but when I do, the chain scratches the gel coat when I bring it up.

I believe in more rather than less anchor capacity so I have Danforth with about 10' of heavy chain and approx. 1/2" rode.

Can't keep the chain from rubbing the lip of hull when I bring it up so looking for ideas.

Maybe a bow pulpit with the type that uses lower support to bolt into front edge of hull.
I only have a couple of inches to the bow slider cover which I won't remove to make room for an anchor. Then also have to move the bow light somewhere to make room for anchor pulpit. Any ideas welcome...............
