Re: Do I have TOO much chain?

I recommend you remove the 100’ and 50’ length ps of chain, keeping the 400’ length.

Also, remove both anchors and replace with a single one capable of holding the boat in all conditions. Think a Rocna, Manson, Spade etc. of a couple sizes larger than what you have now. With that anchor on the bowroller, there won’t be room for a second anchor, which is good.

Cut 25’ off the 50’ length and splice a 200’ nylon line to it. Put that in the lazarette together with a Fortress anchor. This is the 2nd anchor.

The other 25’ as well as the 100’ are not needed… sell it
