Anchor chain & rode advice, C 37/40+

anchor, a 35 lb. Delta, is fused together with rust. The chain is also about

Good advice. Gypsies are VERY specific for chain. Size and grade matter.
Definitely check and order the correct gypsy or plan on buying new chain.

I just replaced my old breaker blowing, jamming, 14 year old windlass. It turns

Bruce,
I'm in the process of upgrading/modifying my ground tackle in preps for a
manual windlass. The PO had arranged a 35lbs Bruce claw with 20' of 3/8ths
BBB chain shackled to 3/4" double braid which had an eye splice and
thimble. The thimble was huge and made retrieving the anchor difficult
