Having a hawse pipe over the anchor locker and then having the anchor either in chocks on deck or on a roller bracket makes anchoring a piece of cake! If you install a roller bracket and center cleat, you should probably put some reinforcement under the deck because the bracket can put some serious loads on the deck if you anchor offshore in rough conditions, which I have done when diving. Here's a post of the installation I did:
