E 25 Custom bow anchoring
Here is a picture the one I had made for my E25. As you can see, this is a Horizon claw that is fit off-center to stb, but fits fairly snug. It required that I drill holes for my nav lights (if I wanted to keep them in the same place), and welding everything onto a ss plate (with a backing plate). I think I could lift my boat with this thing - and you don't want to know how much it cost! I must have been out of my mind (easy for me to do).
FYI, I don't like where I put the chain stopper, but if I remove the pin completely, run the anchor chain in or out, then replace the pin, it works fine. I just don't have a lot of foredeck room and the anchor rode locker down below is...um, really small, consequently, everything is a bit scrunched up (is this a nautical term?). Also, if you do what I did, get rid of that stupid beaded chain and swage on ss wire to prevent losing stuff! You DON'T want to lose your hawsepipe cover, or parts of your chain stopper, each lost overboard item is about the same cost as buying the whole d*mn assembly if you go to West Marine!
