Finally installed my scoops to the crate to store my anchor line and various small gear.
For the actual anchor, I cut and painted a 3'' PVC pipe for the inside of my crate and secured it with ties. ..Makes a great holster!

I forgot to picture it,But we made some little tabs to go into the bottom of those scoop handles...Drilled a hole through the bottom of them for the tabs to come out....So when you put the scoop handle in the PVC you can go underneath and bungee them to the crate.....So you cant knock them out.

Now I just gotta work on securing gear inside them..
And I need to find a green bungee/shockcord provider!!

I really like the idea of using those clips to tie down the crate! Thanks for the idea

I think I'm going to steal some of these ideas to customize a crate or two for my canoe...
