I have an anchor locker now and used a milk crate when I had a SIB. Pointy thing is never in the way. There are days we never anchor, but it is always onboard.

Super fast anchor deployment is a safety function around our rugged coast line. Same with having a kicker ready to drop in the water or accessible paddles.
Under 5 mins, certainly. And like you, I have the kicker/aux mounted ready to go if needed too. And, a thing I think many people forget - I test it at full power at the beginning of each trip too.

Still dread being "that guy" though that needs a tow in!
