I keep my anchor on the bow in *pulpit and run the line through a deck pipe to the locker in the bow. *I used a piece of 4" flex drain pipe as a sleeve between the top deck and the shelf. *This way any water that comes through the deck pipe is funnelled into the bilge and the 4" is big enough to allow the line to travel freely. *The flex works well because you can compress it enough to wedge it into the gap and it is tight enough to stay put without fastners.
