deck pipe/anchor set up

[BOATINGMATT]

yes its just like that.....so face it to the side???

I think I would face it to the side also. I have one just like it on my 20' formula which faces forward, and it always blows open on the highway or in a real heavy wind. The open cap then allows rainwater to get in.

Same here Willy. Matt, I believe the side is your best option to keep out the elements.

I don't have the boat anymore but here is what I had.....

This is my current setup with the deck pipe. I find it easier to pull the anchor rode from the cabin rather than stuffing it from the deck. I am planning to build a bow pulpit, so I am going change it.
