Default Adding a anchor box and hatch

[ATTACH=CONFIG]544687[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]544688[/ATTACH]

Hey anyone ever added an anchor box and hatch to a boat on here?
I'm very good with fiberglass and wood and have stretched engine hatches and built hood scoops added air ducts ect ect
I'd like to know if anyone has a easy step by step setup that they've done as I'm sick and tired of dragging my anchor out of the cuddy hatch and damaging the paint

Any help here would be great thanks

As have I

Hate tripping over the anchor.

I actually thought about hanginig a box from the deck right below one of the hatches. We don't sleep on the boat and the hatch closest to the point of the bow is up in the bed area. Then I would put a mini electric actuator on it so I can open it easily.

Interested to see what you do!
