I've tried several different ways including an anchor chain knot, a chain plate with a double bridle, and a simple stainless steel chain hook. Have been using the chain hook for the last couple of years and been very happy with it and 3/4" 3 strand twisted nylon rope. Defender carries a very nice Suncor 316 stainless steel hook ($30 for 3/8" chain). With some slack between the hook and the bow roller, the chain never comes off the hook. Running a single line over the bow roller as opposed to a double bridle through the hawser pipes, has eliminated the stretching and popping as the strain switches from one side of the bridal to the other.
