"You can also be in charge of leaning over the bow, and turning 175# of steel with an 8' boat hook so it'll line up with the hawse pipe"
Shouldn't happen!
We have a P&S pair of hawse pipes on our 90/90 for at least 3 decades.
AS soon as the anchor is clear of the ground , hanging straight down , the weight of the chain causes* the chain to get* straight from its own weight and the anchor and mud.
No question some hawse pipes require a particular line up , but that's a design problem/flaw , not the result of twisted chain.
