A swivel is a weak point on the anchor. When I set up my anchor I had to
make sure that when the anchor came up it was clocked right on the chain. I
just wish my roller furler was higher so the anchor shank would clear, but the
PO didn't consult me on that.

If you do install a swivel, you may have to add a shackle so the swivel doesn't
ride down the anchor and jam sideways. That's how I left a 35-lb Delta on the
bottom of Montague Harbour.

Although I’m not a great fan of having any more components than absolutely
needed in an anchor rode, a swivel installed between the chain and anchor can
ensure the anchor can rotate and more easily traverse the roller than a
shackle. Locktite is a good thing to use when installing a swivel.

Of course. Although I have to modify the one at the anchor because the pin
gets hing up on the bow roller fitting.

On Pegasus I have a 46lb CQR and 125 ft of chain. I have an electric
windlass. I have been anchored in 30 kt winds and slept great knowing I was
going nowhere. The tough part was finding a shackle that would clear the bow
roller. Sometimes I have to use a hook to pull the anchor over the bow roller.
I have had 7 boats hanging off of my anchor. Granted thise times have been in
very protected anchorages. In a crowded place I will tie a bouy (crab bouy) on
my anchor before dropping. Always interesting to see where it winds up.
