Anchor bow pulpit ideas

[SkunkBoat]

Lewmar pivoting anchor roller. Easily mounts with thru bolts. It leave enough room to mount a cleat and still not interfre with cuddy hatch. Anchor NEVER hits the boat. You can stand back on main deck when dropping and hauling. Works with danforth and claw anchors. I had a chain tensioner/holder which I have since replaced with a simpler pin type chain holder. The rode runs back under windshield door, around sliding hatch and into cuddy.

In latest picture you can see I added a stainless hawse pipe to run anchor rode straight down into locker (In the cuddy there is a piece of 5" plastic flex pipe siliconed in place between foredeck and anchor locker). This works GREAT! You haul the anchor, lay the rode out on deck and then you do have to lay inside the cuddy and pull the rode down into locker

Sorry, I don't have a better pic of latest setup with anchor in place.
