I have a new SDX250 and purchased a generic Land N Sea anchor (for 25'-30' boats) that is too large for the bow compartment.  It seems that the smaller version will be too large as well.  Does anyone have a recommendation?  I only need to anchor in the play-pen by Navy Pier (Chicago) in about 15 ft.--no current.  Thanks for the help!

Then stow it under the helm seat...Geez

Seems like a bad idea to do that every time I use it, especially when it comes up all dirty and gross. Geez

I have a 2018 250 SLX with the same issue. The anchor box must be designed for the windlass system and the opening for standard anchors is undersized. I have a Danforth style anchor and I cut the rod ends that hold the fluks 1/2' on either side. Fits in the compartment easily
