My bow pulpit has a loop on each side for lifeline attachment. I hang the snatch block on the port side. Provides a straight line from there to the winch and also holds the chain away from the hull if you need to motor a little ways before bringing it the rest of the way in. This method also works great if you need to relocate your anchor. Just bring it up to the snatch block, position the boat, and let her back down. Regarding stress on the bow pulpit, I don't leave the line up there when anchored, only when raising the anchor. I installed that bow pulpit myself and I know how solid it is. There is enough give with the bow able to sink a ways if the load gets too heavy. Use reasonable caution, of course.

Larry, Where on the bow pulpit do you attach the snatchblock? I gather you're not concerned with the stress of the anchor line on the pulpit?

Hiya Larry,
I liked your input on anchoring Looks like I'll be buying a snatch block for my M17......
I can also testify that outboard motors with alternators will only supply ample current when they are running at higher RPM. The output voltage is also unregulated.
