I didn't have the running lights on the front of the bow pulpit like he does, so my anchor and about 6' of chain sat in the front on the bow pulpit. On our first C-22,(1980 vintage), I used the same anchor mount RDJ shows in his photos. How do you set up your anchor, deploy it, and stow the rode? Has anyone added drainage to the bow? So anyway, I'd like to hear from others with the older 22's (because I know the newer boats have dedicated anchor lockers right?). I'm also planning to use the CD anchor roller, so I want to keep that deck pipe although I'd like it to be a bit smaller than the current one which is huge. if you do, It needs its own overboard discharge. I have heard the concerns about drilling a drain into that area, primarily you don't want it to go into the bilge because you just end up with a stink problem. The moisture in there is the obvious source of the mold which is concentrated on the overhead of the V-berth and the delamination of the original Catalina plywood cover (yes, the GRP liner was sawn open behind the plywood to create access to the area.) Obviously the big problem with this set-up is that there in no drainage for the front area ahead of the V-berth. The Chain & Rope Rode was stored in the bow void below deck with a chromed brass oval deck pipe and cover. My 81/82 C-22 came with a Danforth hanging from Pulpit hangers. I'm on the fence about how to set up my anchor stowage and deployment.
