I do not have an anchor locker which is really starting to bother me. Right now I keep my anchor in a plastic crate next to the engine, so every time we anchor, I have to fight my way back through the kids, move stuff off the engine cover/sunpad, carry the anchor and rode back up, etc etc. I've tried keeping it under a bow seat, but it bangs around too much in there, and there's not enough room to keep it in some kind of box. Would it make sense to mount a small anchor roller in front of my bow light -- the kind that could also serve to secure the anchor? I was thinking I could do that, then also install a cleat and stow the rode in my little bow compartment in between the two bow seats. Or would that look bad on a 185? Any other solutions, ideas? It is really getting to be a pain. Why any boat does not have a dedicated anchor locker is beyond me.
