So my question for most of the larger vessel types such as 21' and up but anyone can assist. If your boat is equiped with large anchor that you have mounted on the bow of boat where do you stow your chain/line while it sits waiting to be dropped? As for my vessel it runs from anchor that is secured on bow via it's proper bracket. However my chain/line run into the bow of my boat through a hole with a stainless steel cover but the problem is water can easily gain access into my cabin area where the chain/line come into.
It sits in a bucket below the bow in my cabin until needed up on deck. I would like to stow this another way or is there some way I can prevent the water from coming into my cabin using the same design but buy a cap like I have with a seal on it maybe? Again would prefer to just get rid of that design since its coming into my cabin and that chain/line sit in the bucket molding away causing some smells. Any ideas? I will try to get some photos of what I'm referring to unless you guys can visualize (Photos are best I know).
