Default where do you keep your anchor

i have a 23' scepter i keep the anchor in the hatch in the center. Its a pain carrying the anchor up to bow every time i want to drop it. so where do you keep your anchor? i think a bow pulpit is out of the question with how the trailer is.

Thanks

I did a pulpit and windlass on my Tsunami. It's still not perfect but it's an improvement. I don't volunteer to be the first to throw an anchor when rafting up. If you go that route don't go crazy with too much chain in your rode. The weight at the very bow cna throw things off a bit.

On the bottom of the sea.... OK sorry I could not help myself.

I run a 23 CC, makes getting the anchor out a bit easier but with my set up putting it away is painful. I have some clips under the bow that hold it. the Rope is stored in the center bow hatch through a hole in the deck. Normally after using the anchor it sits on the floor or in a plastic bin until I am back at the dock because feeding the rope into the storage area is a pain.

Windlass and pivoting anchor roller. Awesome, flawless set-up. Keep extra/ stern anchor in same spot you do - PITA but necessary.

anchor chocks - just not usable hauling it up there all the time, I used them on my 23

Mine had anchor chocks at one time I can see the holes - then someone put a hawes pipe in the deck for the rope and we just slide the anchor shank right in it - works great never bounces, much better than chocks. Try it out on one of your stern hawes pipes and you'll see how it would work

I have never seen it done before and will give the credit to Susan

Carl saw it at Ft Desoto and even was impressed, guess he never thought of it either

I have the same with a fixed roller. One of the better upgrades to my boat.
Its not cheap but no one has to kill them selves pulling up the anchor.
I went with the Lemar profish free fall.

When I had my sceptre, I had the anchor chocks and the hawse pipe for the rope. Anchor just simply stayed on the deck and it worked great.

Anybody have any pictures of their anchor set-up on a Sceptre? I am trying to work the issue myself. I very rarely anchor so I don't want a windlass. I am just trying to figure out how best to do it without one.
