Buy a fortress anchor or a box anchor. They look a ton better, weigh 1/2 as much and hold stronger than a traditional.
And I agree... anchor chocks in the engine bay are probably the best way to store it, but it is a PITA to have to open the sunpad every time you want to grab or stow the anchor. I have a little carpeted storage compartment under the seat that I keep mine in. It's out of the way and fairly easy to access.

Box Anchor, Folds almost flat, do not need chain, I use 6 ft with smaller anchor. Only time I have had a problem with it grabing is when I have had a number of boats tie up to me and they do not throw out an anchor on windy days.

I wanted to make a serious hanger for a good anchor in one of the two large forward compartments, just never did. I kept a small one under the back seat. We almost always anchored in water depths of 4 feet or less. I used a small anchor but a lot of rope to leverage it.
Just load up with women and tie up to someone who already has the work done!
