I use a very small stainless Bruce, I think is ten pounds or less. I can check tomorrow for you. I put about eight feet of 1/4" ss chain on it and about a hundred feet (we had a problem once of not enough line to reach the bottom after an engine failure - you won't always want to anchor off a beach) of 3/8" polypro line on it. Probably should use nylon.
Everything is quite smooth.
