Who's right me r my wife

[steplift20]

This is it I have my boat 1978 wellcraft step lift of course the question is this I always kept my anchor in the forward hatch but the ends of the anchor are so close to the hull it bothers me so I want to mount it on the starboard side against the hull right behind the helm seat and in front of the rod holders She says I should keep it in the hatch in the cabin and I said I think it would be better against the side after the helm seat and before the rod holders So she said I should ask you guys for the answer ,, let's see who is right her or me I will be waiting and what you guys say I will do
