Oh-oh! You opened a can of worms.
However I rarely get any water on my windshield and assume a big reason for that is my light bow.
Why 3 feet of chain? Seems hardly worth the trouble.
Murray M,
IMO a bigger anchor should help you more than more chain.

I added 100 feet of yellow poly to the end of my anchor chain..in a real emergency cutaway...and no time to add a buoy...it may help when looking to pick it up at a later time.

Bring 10% in BEER (Becks) to Ortona , if you pass by.
The reason only a little chain 4-5 ft is used is to help the anchor set , but most important the chain will stay above the surface (and things that would wear rope) as few bottoms will lety the anchor bury for more than a foot or 3.
wI'm a simple man. Doesn't take much to make me happy. Original Bruce and chain back from regalvanizing and my new Rocna.
