I keep my 11# Bruce w/ 17' 5/16" SS chain + 3/8" rode in a milk crate under the cockpit and have found that the rode tangles far less often if I just stuff it into the milk crate rather than coiling it. When I weigh anchor, the rode lays in the footwell and then I feed it into the crate hand-over-hand from the bitter end into the crate.
My storage arrangement is on my web page, www.htmills.com. Follow the links to BuscaBrisas' Packing List page. There is a downloadable excel file with a comprehensive list including location aboard the boat...

Great idea, and will take up much less space. Rick M-17 Lynne L #633 ************** Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
