Would have posted this question on the recent discussion regarding the Anchor Poll thread. Since this is a specific question, though, I have chosen this format. I am outfitting my E25 for modest coastal cruising and know that it would be smart to include a plow-type anchor in my anchor inventory (I'm thinking specifically about a 14 lb. Delta). The only problem is that there is little-to-no room at the bow for an anchor roller. I remember reading a thread somewhere on this forum about someone installing an anchor roller on the bow of his E27. I recall that he said it was a tight fit. I made a copy of the picture back when I read the thread, and I am posting it here to illustrate just how tight it is. Understandably, the E25 space is even tighter. I include a picture of my own bow with the pulpit removed.
My question is this: Have others found a way to use the plow anchor without having it suspended from an anchor roller? I have hanging hooks on the pulpit for the Danforth, so that part of the problem is settled. Not sure, though, about the plow. Do some store it in a locker or stow it somewhere secure on deck?
Thanks for the help,
Roscoe
