This seems like an odd question but do the C22's normally have the hawse pipe installed after manufacturing. The 2007 boat we just bought has no ground tackle or hawse pipe but does have a bow roller. Has anyone run into this? The chain locker below deck has a drain and looks like it as should hold 200 feet of line and chain.
Hawse Pipe on C22

If you install a windlass, you may not want a separate hawse pipe. I have on (hawse pipe) on my boat I have not used except to flush the V-birth with fresh slat water on a few occasion when I have dunked the bow. I have tried to seal it off after the first time but it's not perfect yet. I am getting better at keeping the bow dryer now.

If you're going to be messing around with the anchor locker, you might want to check the drain location. On my boat the anchor drain was kind of high up and could leave an inch or so of water in the in locker until it (eventually) evaporated. I drilled a new drain that is lower down.
The other option is to fill in the bottom of the anchor locker until it is even with the drain.

If you want the windlass--which I suggest--then forgo the deck pipe. See my note on proper terms. The hawsepipe is thru the side of the vessel, usually in the bow. Some of the trawler types have hawsepipes rather than chocks. for fairlead of the dock lines. In larger steel vessels, it is the iron or steel pipe, the chain passes thru on its way to the windlass, and then goes thru a deck pipe into the chain compartment.
Harvey,
Try a soft rubber ball in the hole beside the anchor chain/line.
It may stop all the water but should help.

Ahh Bill, good idea. My "deckpipe" is oval, about 2x4 with a stainless lid but it still lets some water in and I'm sure some came through the windlass as well. I will look at that though. Thank you.
