There are several ways to tie off your anchor line. Most people just tie the anchor line to a cleat on the left or right side of the bow. It may cause your boat to lay a little off to one side or the other but it's a lot safer and easier to tie off that way. You can sometimes correct the offset by turning your motor to one side or the other to act as a rudder to straighten the boat. You can run the anchor line through the bow eye and up to one of the cleats; tie the line off at the left or right cleat. The boat will still lay straight as if you tied off to the bow eye. That way you can leave it like that until you come in and then remove it from the bow eye. No hanging over the bow all day. Good luck!!
