My thoughts: Launch and retrieve the anchor from the cockpit. When anchor set walk rode to the bow. Store in the deep Port cockpit locker. Tie rode to the big cleat in the center of the foredeck. I assume your boat has aluminum toe rails. Run the rode over the toe rail. Chocks would nice nice but difficult to fit as you _do not_ want to remove, cut or damage the aluminum toe rails. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: Baba 30 #233 DEJA VU :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com On Fri, Dec 31, 2021, 10:38 AM Cap Keith <orionkeith@msn.com> wrote:
Hi all,
I recently bought a 1980 Montgomery 17 and was trying to figure out the best way to setup the anchoring system. Not so much on types of anchors, but, more importantly how the bow is set to receive the anchor rode, there isn’t a Sampson post, or what I feel is proper or more functional chocks or bow roller (?). Can anyone provide what has worked best for them?
Thank you! Keith Korporaal
