How to secure anchor chain to bow cleat

Postby jgunzblazin » Mon Jul 23, 2018 5:02 pm

Hello fellow Wellcraft owners. I have been suffering from dreaded anchoring problems since my anchor is only connected via anchor rope. Yesterday I added 5ft of anchor chain to my anchor which rests on the bow anchor roller of my 2018 Wellcraft 222 Fisherman. The problem I am having is securing the anchor so it stays put on the bow roller when I have pulled it up. This is because the chain barely fits under the cleat. Can someone shed some light onto how they have configured the chain at rest?

If you look online they make a chain lock that is inexpensive. It lets the chain come in, but there is a slot where it will lock the chain and not let it go back out until you raise the little door on it.
