Many of us use an all-chain anchor rode. We DON'T attach the end of the chain inside the chain locker. We attach a short nylon line to the chain and attach the other end in the locker. Make sure the line is long enough to reach outside your locker where it can be cut free in an emergency.

We also keep a fender handy. The fender can be tied to the end of the cut line and hopefully retrieved at a later time...
