Bill,
Hi Bill, the anchor is on deck after I washed it on dock... I don't leave the anchor there... I rolled an older 1/2" rope on front rail and left a loop small enough to hold the anchor... That was my easy way anchor holder solution...

My trouble with portholes is that I want to install a frame around the interior and exterior corners... I was wondering if they sell frames for that purpose and size... I couldn't find anything online...
And the hatch has curved edges which is really hard to duplicate without a molding form with heat bender installed... I'm working on a molding form that can bend the edges of the lexan...
