where do you keep your anchor

[bigeasy1]

Glad I never had to use my anchor..When I finished the restore on my Tsunami,several years ago, I put the anchor and a few hundred feet of line in the forward compartment.God forbid I ever have to get to it.Getting past all the boxes and bags of tackle, rain gear and other stuff in the cuddy would not be fun.

I keep thinkkng about getting it up on deck where it can be reached in an emergency.looks like a good project for the summer.We never anchor, and are always trolling, and much of the time we're in 300 to 500 feet of water so I might not have enough line anyway.
I do however use my trolling bags quite often, when trolling in rough stuff,and would use them as well if we had an emergency, to help keep the bow into the waves
