I like that idea, Airslot. It would really clean up the clutter that anchoring inevitably causes. Only thing I question is how much water finds its way into the anchor locker and then to the bilge? I know everyday rain or the water from a wet rode isn't the issue...I'm talking taking a wave or 10 over the bow?
Then again, a 2" hole isn't really that big....let me know what, if any, issues you've run into...I might need to break out a holesaw bit for the drill!
Thanks ;D
