It strikes methat relatively speaking, the boat will be more bouyant without the anchor, so will sit higher in the water, so the water line on the boat will appear to go down.
Or is that just lady-logic gibberish?

The bouyancy of the boat will counteract some of the mass of the anchorwhilst the anchor is in the boat. So the anchor is not displacing the full amount of water that it would if the anchor was in the water.
The water line on the boat is meaningless, it's the water line on the tank that's important.
