Post 2 of 2 in regards to my anchor conundrum.

I have 3 anchors that go on my boat, a bruce claw, cqr, and fortress. The claw and cqr each have their own chain. The fortress has a 10ft chain rode then twisted nylon rope.

I have a seperate 'please help me post' in regards to anchor rollers.

For this post, I am asking for help, input, design, etc, for how to handle the chain handling. For whatever reason the previous owner and shipyard who sealed up the anchor room and converted it to another room inside, put the chain storage area about one foot in front of the windlass.

I am wide open to any help or input. I am currently in seattle as I had to pick up some constant running autopilot pumps from another forum member(great experience from this member as well), so.getting better dimensions will be about a week out.

Maybe make a chase out of heavy duty PVC pipe to direct it where you need it. Or a slide out of Starboard or UHMW plastic.
