Why? is a good question. For a layout that brings all lines back to the
Cockpit, that is a good way to keep loose line out of the way

That is a neat layout of winches. How about telling us about them,
Scotty?

There are several solutions. We typically coil the line around an unused
winch or
put it in a bag designed for that. Or, some boats have tie downs for that
purpose.

but what if the line fell off the winch and into the water, then, when
you start your engine??????

It's certainly a possibility, but it's more likely that it would come
off the handle don't you think?

do you honestly think that coil is going to 'jump' over the winch
handle?

By itself no. But, if the handle lock suddenly gave it up, it would
go in the water, right?

fall off?
your kidding?
if that line fell off, it's not a line in the water you need to worry about.
you may think about the need to activate the epirb.
