Clever anchor deploying/storage like AnchorMate for Bowrider?

[gixxerjim]

I have a 19.5ft bowrider that usually has 3kids in it. The best place i have to stow the anchors, front and rear, is in the very front of the bow under the hinged seat cushion and under one of the jumpseats next to the I/O doghouse. Neither of these locations is easily accessible with the five of us in the boat.

I like the anchor mates for small fishing boats but can't really see how to adapt them easily to a pleasure boat.

So I am looking for your ideas on how to store these and make them more readily deployable or stored in a more organized fashion. Inevitably my anchor ropes end up tangled up and I am messing with them for a couple minutes while my boat is drifting away from my intended location etc.

Any solutions you have used to streamline this?

Most boats will accept a bow pulpit of some form. Then the forward compartment can be used to store the rode. The aft anchor will require better planning on your part, and some creative ideas from us.

The make and model of your boat will help us help you find a working solution.
