anchor chain chafe

[ORIF]

I have the same Plath windlass on a heavier 48. I TT Plath when considering a heavier anchor, and he literally laughed and told me it would be no problem. Mine hasn’t been rebuilt yet and still makes nice sounds. I pass Plath on my way to Mt Hood a few times a year when I visit my parents, one of these years I’ll drop it off. I don’t plan on ever needing to buy another windlass and it’s 40 years old now.

Ghost,
That’s good to know.
What weight is your anchor?
