Bob,
which boats and why those and not others?  I do not use an anchor pin but tie
the anchor with line to the roller while underway.  I've never had a problem.
However I did have the queen berth in the bow with gas shocks over a storage
compartment bounce up and down in a head sea.  Eileen came up from below
laughing hysterically.  She said, "You've got to come down and see this!"  I
guess I'll have to put in a barrel bolt to lock it into place.
