I really would like to see photos of your set-up because I want to install
one over the winter. Did you need a mounting plate. Please e-mail to me.

Does the 275 feet of chain fit into your chain-locker. I was thinking of
1/2 inch hi test or stainless.

As for Debra's boat, it used to sit next to mine in Annapolis, and, I know
the prior owner Bill Parlatore (Passagemaker) had custom stainless work
done on the anchor platform.
