Mine became permanent as far as the 22 lb Danforth because the only wear on the chains was at the center. If you don't pull up the whole rode occasionally the anchors will bury to a depth that hand retrieval becomes impossible. I would pull the center and cut out about 5' of wear caused by the center rodes moving around in the sand/mud bottom. I used 50' rodes, once the anchor and about 45' of the chain buries there is little wear. I used this type mooring for about 12 years.
