Sounds simple and sensible, Jerry, thanks. I understand your point about the anchor on the pulpit. --Craig

I pull the anchor the same way, dropping the chain right in the locker. I never liked hanging the anchor on the pulpit on a boat as small as a 17 because of an aversion to weight aloft. I keep the anchor and chain in the bilge locker where it becomes ballast.
