where is the anchor

[nipper]

I keep 3 anchors of different sizes in my enormous fish box between the helm and port side seats in my V20 cuddy. I usually reach for my biggest Danforth with 10' of chain. I could easily throw it over the bow from the cabin, but of course, I am throwing it over the bow rail, which is not good, and I do not want to play out 200' of rope when anchoring in generally shallow waters where I boat. It does become a bit of a PITA to get up on the deck, with the anchor and chain in hand, then pass it under the bow rail, before throwing it out. That is why I sometimes opt for the little navy style, vinyl coated anchor with no chain and about 50' of rope, throw it over the rail, play out the line, pass it under the rail and secure it.
