Don, I keep my 4.4 claw in a shallow cockpit locker with a few feet of chain and 150' of 1/4" rode. And there is room for a 1-gal fuel container.

Anchor storage: I've got a 9# Danforth forward under the v bunk and a 4.4 Claw in the port locker. Problem is, easing into an anchorage, there isn't a lot of time to get the anchors out and having them in the cockpit, they are unfoot. I've thought of hanging the Danforth from the bow pulpit and tiing a knapsack to the boarding ladder with the lunch hook. Is there a better way. 2. Battery location: where is the best place: 3. Mast head light. Is one of the three way tri-colors the best. 4. Rod holder. I've worked up a bracket that clamps to the motor mount bu there must be a better way Thats all for now. Thanks in advance. Don Ludlow _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
