Anchor rattle in rough water

[BadFish1801]

Hey all, weather has been windy down here in the Keys, however, Saturday is Saturday so I went out for some fishing. The 1801 handles fine in the slop, but the anchor rattle really got on my nerves. It's sitting pretty in the locker, but still rattles. Do you guys and gals secure the anchor latches somehow? Thoughts?

Are you talking about the anchor locker hatch?

 

[BadFish1801]

No the hatch is good to go. I'm talking about the two latches that secure the anchor as it hangs in the locker.

My '06 1801 has rubber pieces that fit in the locker top recesses where the anchor ears fit under the latches. This causes a slight interference fit and no noise is created.

Same here. I'll try to remember photos next time I am aboard.

I used thin rubber about the thickness of an old inner tube. Stopped the rattle!

Awesome, thanks y'all. I'll let you know how it works.
