Installing an Anchor

I had a piece of old plywood that I cut with a jigzaw to fit in this neck.

From Aliexpress I ordered a cleat and a rope roller. The cleat will be installed above the last bench and some foam was cut out. I just stuck it here temporarily before I drill into the boat.

The roller was 14 euros plus shipping from China and attached easily to the wood piece. The wood piece itself was given a resin coating using resin I had left over from a canoe repair two years ago. For an anchor I'm using an exercize weight because it's free and makes a good substitute for a mushroom style anchor. I am only going on calm waters and canals, so I dont need a fancy anchor anyway.
