Hi Danny, Can your anchor locker be fitted with a proper drain overboard? If the bottom of the locker is higher than the waterline, add a hose with nylon thruhull fittings. Check other boats in your marina for ideas. Some boats drain out through stem. Some boats have a clam shaped cover over the exit.
If the anchor locker bottom is below the waterline, it will need to be modified.

It is pretty large and any water that will end up in there will end up in the bilge. However, it will run though the storage under the V-Birth to get there. I'm just not sure i want that. I guess I could pipe a drain through there. I'd really rather have a separate compartment for that with a drain through the hull. I guess I could do it the way you did for temporary and then glass in a compartment later. It seems you get a whole lot of access to the anchor line by just dropping it into that compartment. I'm just afraid of all that added moisture in the cabin, not to mention smell. We had some real moisture issues and the bedding was very moist...yuck but, I think it had more to do with the time of year and the humidity in the air we had at night. That sure seems like a beefy solution you came up with! I'll probably borrow some of your ingenuity. I'll still have the bow roller solution to contend with, as well... I was thinking of taking the bow fitting off and taking it to a fabricator to see if we could come up with a solution. My idea is to get a couple of, off the shelf, anchor rollers and then modify them with stainless plating for a direct replacement bow fitting. Danny
