Ahoy DH,
I have 200 feet of 5/16 chain plus 75 feet of rope and a 45 lb. anchor managed by a Lofrans Tigres windlass. My forward water tank is usually full.
I have not experienced any adverse effects.
I hope this helps.
Bill

Yes, I really like the Tigres. It is very well built and easy to service. I recommend it without reservation.
