Cam, over here we don't use the chain, its all rope, and the snubber and/or spring. I have never seen the chain istallation. Could it be to keep it snug with the chain's wieght??
The snuber/chain is only used on the bow to finger rope, and on the stern to finger rope. The springs and other cross ropes are straight but not too tight.
