Does anyone have an anchor they can recommend that will fit the front anchor locker on a 2023 AR250? I bought one, but the door would not close with it hanging and I haven’t really seen a different design that might work without causing interference with the door closing due to being too tall above where it’s designed to hang.

Here is a photo of the anchor label from my 2021 AR250.

The crown on the Danforth is taller, more offset from the stock than the usual sliding ring anchor that I think they design for.

On the sliding ring...the crown does not stick up as much over the stock. Personally, I don't like sliding ring anchors.

I have a stainless steel rod that hangs my box anchor in that compartment. Cut the rod to fit and insert it through the folded box anchor.

I tried the Five Oceans version (Amazon.com : Five Oceans Boat Anchor - Fluke Anchor, 9 Lb, Galvanized Steel Slip Ring Boat Anchor, Boat Anchors, Small Boat Anchor for Pontoon, Dinghies, Fishing Boats, Small Boats - FO4557 : Sports & Outdoors) but the stock was too short. The 1st one I bought the crown was too tall. I ended up with a Fortress FX-7 and cut about 3/4' off the stock.
