Yea Jeff, and get that fat puppy down into the bilge.Measure it out and put a tie-wrap or a rope tie and a painted link every 10-25 feet, you pick. Have shackles at every hundred, and by ALL means take as much rope lead as you have chain, as well as a series of anchors. A Bruce, a pair of monster danforths or CQR''s to be mounted permanently on deck. Get yourself a Chapmans...go to West or Amazon. Get a manually optional winch, and remember that what goes down must come up!!........do you have any idea what 300'' 3/8 will weigh?? You WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE IT BY HAND!!! you will not want to use it to moor in the lee for a quickie.....
