I am considering adding an anchor rode counter/control since there are very few mooring balls if any at all in the Chesapeake and we are always on anchor.

Not knowing how much chain is out is always a guess, I can almost never tell the angle as I have all chain and it pretty much drops straight and stays that way except when setting. Which always gives me nightmares of the boat beaching itself or worse while sleeping on anchor, yes I have issues ...
Anyway just curious if anyone has retrofitted/added there windlass with something like this or something else?
