Re: Any experience using samller HT (G7) chain on heavy anchor?

Don't I know it! I'm waiting to hear if Maggi are going to do anything about it. They were responsive initially, but lately they have gone quiet!

Re: Any experience using samller HT (G7) chain on heavy anchor?

Re: Any experience using samller HT (G7) chain on heavy anchor?

Wish it was that easy! Yes I did, and tried our chain on the one that we don't have - the dealer humoured me - just to be sure. He was right, not even close. Here's another pic of how our chain sits...

Re: Any experience using samller HT (G7) chain on heavy anchor?

That is exactly our experience, and what I am afraid it is! How are you managing with it? How long have you been using it?

Re: Any experience using samller HT (G7) chain on heavy anchor?
