Anchoring Configuration

[Brian Snook]

I've had three boats prior to getting my '86 H23, and they all had cleats on deck. This boat has but one, and it's in the anchor locker. Not to mention a severe lack of chocks. How in the world do you properly secure the anchor rode on this boat? I'm seriously thinking about using a snubber line attached to the bow hook and tied to the rode with a rolling hitch. Thoughts?Brian

Cleats

We used the pins molded into each side aft for awhile. Last week I added a cleat on each side aft on the vertical portion under on the back side of the pins. IN front I use the cleat inside the anchor locker, but I did add rope guides on each side. If you mount them far enough forward you can get into a metal plate molded into the fiberglass. I drilled the holes undersize then tapped them. Works great.
