Who's right me r my wife

[steplift20]

This is it I have my boat 1978 wellcraft step lift of course the question is this I always kept my anchor in the forward hatch but the ends of the anchor are so close to the hull it bothers me so I want to mount it on the starboard side against the hull right behind the helm seat and in front of the rod holders She says I should keep it in the hatch in the cabin and I said I think it would be better against the side after the helm seat and before the rod holders So she said I should ask you guys for the answer ,, let's see who is right her or me I will be waiting and what you guys say I will do

Let me refras that Where do you keep your anchor on your wellcraft

I'm might be no help with your question but I I always store my anchor and rode in/under the center hatch in between the captains seat and the back to back seat.
I store the rode and chain in bucket or canvas bag with the anchor laying off to the side.

Your wife is right.
I don't give a damn where she says the anchor needs to go, because she is right!

Now weather or not you pay her any attention to being right, that is another story.

Mine are stored in the bottom at the opening to the cuddy, ready if need be in an emergency situation.
My wife don't like them stored there but she understands the possible need to access them quickly.

So what your saying is if my wife says store the anchor on the deck in the middle of everything that's where I should put it because she is right lol

[steplift20]

In a forty do you have a center console ?

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
