Anchoring my Anchor...PITA !!
Need a method to store my anchor inside the boat. Would like it out of the way and secured good so it doesnt bounce around an scratch anything. Its a regular style anchor with a 2 ft. chain hooked to it. Tired of this SOB, its big , awkward, heavy and just a pain in the azz! Any easy access mounting ideas?

I was on a buddies 42 sonic and he built a bracket in the engine compartment just behind the seat starboard side that the anchor slipped into on its side. it had alignment pots and straps to hold it in place. He would pull the chain off the D ring and drop that into the storage bin. I thought it was a great clean setup, but it takes space in the engine compartment. Now granted he didnt spend much time working in there (nice shiny 675hp belt driven), I on the other hand have been down in my engine compartment all the time.
