Our gameplan is to router 2 pieces of 1" StarBoard - gluing them together and adding a 1/2" PVC backer in the anchor locker. Everything thru bolts except the anchor light - and we are building it up on a 4" hollow pedestal so lightbeam can clear bit and anchor. We are using a Fortress FX-11
anchor with 12' of 3/8" SS chain and a 3000lb swivel attached to a thimble to 600' of 1/2" braided nylon line. It all ties up to a SS bit and dumps into the locker through a SS hawse.
