Jesse,

All three anchors stay in their ‘underway’ storage locations while the boat is being trailered.  All are redundantly pinned and tied to the boat.  They are probably about least likely items to fall off and become hazards on the highway, even in the event of an accident.  Finding alternative places to safely store them would be challenging, to say the least.
