That's exactly how my 3607 was done too. Nothing really wrong with that. All you're trying to do is prevent the bitter end from leaving the boat. The rode should be secured on a cleat or a bitt when you're anchored, so there really is never any tension on that bitter end.
If you're using the rode locker under the forward berth, there is no place else to secure it there unless you create one. If you secure it somewhere else, you're going to have to forego using that locker.

I bought a 1 1/2" x 3" long stainless pipe nipple, pulled the rode through and tied it off in a loop, so to speak.
