My previous boat had a laundry basket (I think) held in place with a couple of peices of rope next to the motor. I used it for the bumpers mainly, but will work for anything.
Any type of basket would do the trick

West Marine carries straps that clamp over the bow railing of cruisers to hold anchors. Those will work too. May take a bit of modifying to screw them to your bulkhead. Just a thought.

For that matter. just a couple of hooks from your local hardware store to hold the anchor upside down by the bar. If you have a fluke type anchor.

I would put mine in a nylon bag with the chain and rope and put it in the engine compartmet secured down so it would not move. I'll look for a pic.
