Have it go thru the bow chock, then bring it down to midship cleat or wherever you can reach it.
When you need to go Just uncleat the end and let it slip up the rail and thru the bow chock.
I use 1" yellow floating line so I can't run it over

Better yet, do splice a loop at the end of the line, then slip the loop through the cleat, but don't loop it over the cleat, just put a dowel through the loop. Attach a line to the dowel and to let the anchor go, just pull on the dowel line. That way you can release everything without leaving the cockpit.
