I am experimenting with heavy cable ties in place of stainless mousing wire after reading opinions of several experienced cruisers on another forum. Sarca anchor is safety-snubbed to windlass when not deployed so the cable ties are being inspected before and after every deployment as part of snubbing process, despite my routine use of a wireless chain-counting remote (which I love & now would never be without). I also have an Ultra swivel which after 9 years I am about to preventatively replace....also moused with cable tie. After 6 months of relatively frequent use cable ties show no signs of abrasion.

D or bow shackle joining anchor to chain and/or swivel? What are the pros & cons of each type?
