Anchor Locker/Ski Locker mats

[bigd1634]

I have a new 195s and hopefully will be taking it out for the first time next weekend (weather permitting). I was loading it up with ropes, fenders, ski's, etc. this weekend. I was wondering what everyone has done, if anything, for some cushioning/protection in the anchor and ski lockers? I do not want the anchor to bounce around and damage the fiberglass. I have a knock off (Amazon) Seadek/EVA foam sheet coming that is close in color to the factor style that I was thinking of using in the anchor locker. I figure it is cheap, close in style/color, and I won't get upset if it gets beat up from the anchor/chain.
I love the size of the ski locker in this boat and would like to protect the fiberglass in there too. There is a factory black mat that would take care of the floor of the locker but I am thinking about the sides and any boards/ski's bouncing around in there. I will have extra of the EVA stuff and was thinking of maybe putting some in the ski locker to cushion the sides. Has anyone done something like this?

Also has anyone used this Seadek knock off stuff? Good, bad, ugly?

Some folks have used Dri Deck .... it’s on my list to get some to line the storage compartments.

Replying to an old thread here, but this is the only one I could find with a search.
Just setting up my brand new boat and wondered the same thing.
The anchor just hangs in the compartment and seems like it'll just swing back and forth and beat the crap out of the sides of the anchor locker.
Thinking about using an old car mat or left over piece of gym flooring to line the sides.

Any other suggestions?

I bought some of these for my anchor locker. I didn’t but them from Cabela’s, but they worked out great. I lined the floor of myhead with them too. (White)

I think that is basically the stuff I recommended. Dri-Dek. I bought some to try it out and need to order more.

Looks simple enough. Easy to trim and fit in place.
Thanks
