Proper anchor for 212X anchor locker mounts?

[GoVols01]

The anchor locker is designed to hold a danforth style anchor, but what size will fit the mounts inside the locker properly? My dealer gave me a cheap 15lb rubber coated anchor that just sits in the bottom of the locker and I'm afraid it'll damage the fiberglass.

I wouldn't leave an anchor laying around in the anchor locker as it will just beat the fiberglass up and you'll have cracks in the outside gelcoat eventually https://jetboaters.net/threads/hi-i...age-to-hull-didnt-realize-it-is-it-bad.13805/. If the Yamaha deluxe danforth style anchor fits in my boat I don't see why it wouldn't fit in the larger 21' and 24' locker. I use that and a box anchor as backup.

I bought cheap workout mats from Walmart and lined my anchor locker to prevent my box anchor from beating up the fiberglass. Less than $20 and really made the locker nice.

You might be surprised what can fit in there. I hang a folded box anchor off the locker in my 242...I just use a piece of rebar cut down to 18" and it fits perfect.
