Question on Windlass Anchors
I just purchased my first boat last year, a 2001 Sea ray 260DA, 26 foot. I'm looking for a reasonably priced and long lasting windlass for my boat. I have looked and read about Lewmar...
Can anyone tell me what is the best length of chain for my 310 DA? I have a winless and the book says it comes with 125' of 5/16 galvanized. I currently have a Chain leeder with rope after that and want to make it all chain. Is it recommended I do so? If so, how long?
Thanks
