My two live in a milk crate and are ready to drop inna half a minute...each w/12' chain and 300' rope attached....

mine lived on the pulpit, until this past weekend, see repair section. my new fathers day anchor with safety wire also lives on the bow. the po of my boat kept it in the deck box behind the seats and that was very inconvienent. i built a pulpit with roller about 15 years ago and love it. i like it because i can lower and retrieve and never get on the foredeck. i also use an anchor ball to retrieve and can pull in the line from the cabin. i was doing a lot of diving then and have about 35' of chain.



as you can see, it helps keep things organized

I usually keep mine on the bow. I never replaced it after losing it and 22 feet of 5/16 chain. Had to cut it loose, we couldn't move around to free it because other boats were fishing on top of us practically. One reason i do not fish on weekends anymore. I forgot how good V20s looked with the bow rail. How do yall think a black bow rail will look? It looks good on a contender t-top.

Try to improve the time required in doing some parts, or try to improve mechanisms for improved quality. You can use alternative materials to improve durability of your boat too.

Wolf, that's a nice setup... if I could afford an anchor windlass like that I'd do the same thing. What did that set you back if I may be so bold as to ask?

I got lucky enough to get it at a whole saler, $200.00 I took it a part cleaned, rewired, greased and painted. It is worth every penny.. Never have to leave the helm seat. :)
