What do you call the little "do-hickys" that "hook" the anchor to the bow pulpit for temp storage? And where do I find them? Thanks, Ed

Bow anchor brackets

Depending on the type of anchor you have, Westmarine has some on page 713 of its 2005 catalogue. They are called Rail Mount Anchor Brackets, or Anchor-Lok Pulpit Anchor Holder. I can't find them on-line.

Try this type instead

You might want to think about a different type of bracket. Plus it's cheaper than the one you showed. The one that you show in your link is a pain (I had one) in that you have to turn the anchor upside down to hang it (muddy hands). The type that I recommend (see link) mounts at the bottom of one of your pulpit stanchions so that, after hauling up the anchor, you just slip one of the anchor's rectangular "ears" into the bracket while holding the anchor by its shank, which is the part that you will naturally grab first (and is usually pretty clean). Removing the anchor is also simpler. I use a short piece of shock cord to hold the shank against the stanchion. The same manufacturer makes a similar bracket that mounts on the rail but it suffers from the same drawbacks as the version you found.

Thanks!

Yes, that style works well...I had it on my last boat, but didn't think of mounting it the way you suggested...gives me something to think about, thanks!
