    Bitter End anchor

    Finally getting around to attaching a nylon rope to bitter end of our anchor chain. Looking in the locker, don't see anything solid to tie it off to. Suggestions? Also, what do i measure to determine the size of the existing chain?

    If you go to the Maxwell Windlass site, they have specs on chain.

    This is what I have--steel L embedded in locker deck. In fact, have one on each side of locker.

    Chain is measure by the thickness of the links, the length of the link describes what kind of chain it is.
