On our Santego, we have do not have a windlass. The small port from the anchor locker to the pupit has a spring loaded cover. Stowing the rode is a real pain in the ass. The rode is not heavy or stiff enough to easily drop through the port. Pulling the rode from the anchor locker works for a bit but always gets jammed up as well even with the cover propped open.
What are others doing for manual stowing of the rode?

Re: Stowing Anchor Rode
Heh there.....anchor rode over time can become twisted ( even chain ), perhaps leading to issues like you are seeing. It is good practice to let all the line out and straighten it/ take the twist out, perhaps once a season, maybe more if you anchor all the time.
By the way what type/style of rope are you using ?

The above is strictly my opinion.
