Not a mod, but worth sharing.
A #8 anchor slips easily into the mast mount at the pulpit. I do not store the anchor here permanently, but it is very handy on outings when I plan to anchor, giving me an out-of-the way keep the anchor. I have found that gravity holds it there dependably, but it can be made more secure with a bungee cord or a rope if one desires.
Pay no attention to the orange extension cord at the bottom of the photo. It has nothing to do with this.
