Has anyone mounted the pulpit mounted anchor holders with pulpit mounted lights? Does the mounted light interfere with anchor placement on the pulpit? I have a 1984 Catalina 22 and am not interested in the pulpit mounted anchor, if I have to mess with the light. Thanks for your input.

I have done that at one time. You can mount it without messing with the light. However, you will be surprised how much you see through the pulpit, or don't if the anchor is there. I have mine back at the stern pulpit (or pushpit). It's much quicker to deploy in an emergency and easier when single handling.

I have mine mounted on the pulpit and it doesn't get in the way of the light at all. I have a picture at the web address below (click on the second picture for a close up). I have had this setup for two years in all kinds of weather with no issues.
