The guy i bought my boat from was a good friend and i dove off of it for a couple of years before i bought it from him. He kept anchor set up in the in deck fishbox. I hated it. PIA to open hatch and carry all that mess to the bow. As divers, we had at least 20 ft of chain plus couple hundred feet of line. When i bought the boat, i moved it all forward to the cuddy and stowed it in a fish basket( a HEAVY duty laundry basket). That was a lot easier to work with, but kept the cabin a soggy mess. Then i broke down and got the pulpit. That's the best thing i did after getting the Bimini and curtains.

By the , your wife is right, no matter the question

Got it Honey your right what the hell was I thinking,, man I glad I married you Thanks hon That's how I will say it But I still have the anchor and rode with chain in the cabin hatch I guess that's where it's going to stay, hey it's been there for 20 years I still think I would like to get it out of there cause when you put it away it's wet Maybe a basket would be better , and I have one too

V21 has two compartments in the center.....large to the rear, smaller in front.
I keep rode in the smaller in front, anchor on top of the rode. No banging against anything.

There's the tiny compartment in the very front of the cuddy........but too small for anchor and rode.

I have 600' of rode, approx. 15' of chain and danforth type anchor. All fits in fine.

That said, since it's a " husband - wife " difference of opinion, all I can do is wish you good luck.

Nope it's a cuddy. I had the same anchor set up in my last V 20 cuddy and the new owner (a very close friend and previous V 20 owner) thought it was a great idea.
In fact he is still using my bucket with the rode inside.

dude, just buy another anchor and you will both be right. problem solved. and get an old mud flap and some 3m spray glue and line the anchor storage area that youre concerned about. hard to imagine an anchor doing any real damage but anything is possible and piece of mind is a valuable thing
