Mine goes just behind the cockpit under the deck bungees. The rope bag has a buckle and strap system to keep it on the deck. The draw back, as I discovered last Sunday, is that the buckles can get snared in the bungees. It takes a few minutes to work it loose. If the conditions were really bad or were predicted to get worse I might move it to the front. Once untangled from the bungees I hook it to my short towing pig, paddle up to the kayak in distress latch on and tow away. I've never tried to throw the bag. I'm skeptical about how well that would work.
