Thanks guys. I appreciate the info. I only have 40 feet of chain and don't have a dinghy on the stern. All the water drains to the stern except for the water on the bridge and water on the deck at the front of the bow. All the pictures I have seen out there look as though the boats sit low in the bow similar to ours.
