I had toi move the water fill deck plate, to make way for the anchor roller, and installed a Haus deck plate fore the anchor line to get through the deck. Glad those 3 items are done LOL
This is on top of the bow. Water fill moved anchor roller installed and that solid brass deck plate you see if the the rope and chain.

And this was the hard part. Had to make a backing plate for all this, and made a lil floor in front of the plywood inside the bow so the chain and rope didn't get down by the water tank, Might get snagged up.

And all that work was done waaaaaay up in the front of the boat, laying on my back and side. phewwwwwwww done!!!

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
