Anchor hardware placement

[Mercury13]

I was thinking about some ideas to facilitate the anchoring setup on the boat (20' Searay Overnighter)1994, I came across this lot of items figuring I could use them.
Currently it's a little cumbersome climbing thru the split windshield to the bow and reaching over to the bow cleat below the rail.
Are there any recommendations for mounting any of this topside ?

Here's a boat and hardware pic.
Thanks.

Can't figure out what you're asking. How are a cleat, some handles and bow chocks going to make your anchor easier to manage? Maybe if you add a piece of string, a book of matches and change your last name to Macgyver...?

Sorry, but you lost me...

I'm just not sure where to mount them, or exactly how they are used.

Well, you'd mount the cleat and chocks at the bow, but... your boat doesn't have a bow cleat??

I don't associate the rest of that hardware with "anchoring"

well the hawse pipe (oval shaped shiny thing) will do you no good unless you have an anchor locker where you intend to cut the hole in your deck.

installing a center cleat and chocks at about a 45 off each side of the center cleat at the edge of the deck will help though. maybe try a bow roller.

Thanks, that's all I was looking for. Never had a need for it before.

Apparently some have been born with that knowledge.

Hey, Mercury- I didn't mean any offense. I just couldn't figure out what you were trying to accomplish or where you were going with your question.

I apologize if I came off as a smarta**.

That's cool. Only thing I ever had to anchor prior to this was a john boat.
