Wow, lots of interesting replies. So to avoid further drift.....
1) I'm using 1/4 G7 chain. They don't appear to make the chain markers that small.
2) I have a 25lb Manson Supreme and I do NOT have a windlass.
3) The Admiral deploys and retrieves the anchor manually. I drive up to is and she retrieves the line.
4) We're only talking about 100 ft. of chain.
Neither a windlass nor a chain counter is going to be installed.
I really appreciate everyone's replies. Some great ideas about marking anchor out of water and also at the bitter end of the rode.
Similar w us except we have a small capstan (may get a little better one soon) 15' of chain (but the first 3' is 3/8" chain) and Chris runs the boat while I operate the rode. Paint is all new now.
And I am fully w Marin in post #30 pg 2 . Couldn't agree more as Walt always says.
Shrew, Is your 25lb Manson Supreme actually 28lbs? My 15lb MS was actually 18. Now it's probably 15 since I cut the roll bar off. Haven't used it yet.
