165 ID Anchor

[Punkin Slinger]

Just joined this forum.

I have a new 2022 165 ID on order. I won't be able to get it until next spring, but would like to buy some accessories for it. I would like to buy a vinyl coated fluke style anchor to store in the anchor locker in the bow of the boat. The dealer does not have any boats in stock, so I don't have any measurements on the compartment size. What do you use?

Thanks

This is a picture of a 165 anchor locker that is holding a 15lbs fluke, vinyl coated anchor. lol It's mine. It should give you an idea of the size. I highly recommend a rubber matt like I have under the anchor to prevent damage when hitting wakes hard. I've also glued a foam matt on the side wall so that the chain doesn't slip into the ski locker. It does not have that stock.

I store an "anchor buddy" type rope in there, a 25ft piece of nylon rope for various purposes, I also have my fire extinguisher mounted to the seat above the anchor and there's still plenty of room for way more. Just inconvenient if you have too much in there.
