I picked up a second (smaller) anchor so I could tie off the stern and keep the boat from moving when we pull up to some little islands and the kids go swimming and we kick back in the water.

Does anyone have any pictures or ideas of where to mount it so its just not loose in the center locker?

Thanks

Can't say I have ever seen or heard of a stern anchor being mounted. I have seen people make brackets in their storage compartments to secure the anchor so it does not move around while underway.

I keep my second anchor (mushroom style) under the rear jump seat, next to the engine box where it fits perfectly. I picked up some of the non-skid mats from West Marine that hold it in place from sliding around. No need to mount.

I doubt there is room to mount a second one. My second anchor is small and I can't even come close. It sits under one of the seats in the bow.

I can probably fit it under a seat. Just wanted to secure it.

BOTH extra anchors? You enjoy sitting out in hurricanes?

You go one off the bow, and 2 off the stern Txjole?
