I use 40 feet of yellow polypropylene to secure it to the boat. I have a knife in the anchor locker. I can run out all the chain, cut the rope and have the yellow floating rope to locate the anchor. When running out the chain it is unlikely that you would have the time to stop and put a float on the line, so using floating line solves that problem.
