I used to have a great pic of how I got my old rotton anchor locker out but I cant find it right now. I will tell you there was a sludge hammer in the photo. I was able to piece it together and make a template for the new one. I made my new anchor out of 3/8 inch starboard and I was able to flex it and get it in there without removing the deck cap. It's possible with a little work. There is a pic at the bottom of this thread
