I need to add an anchor swivel in-between the anchor shaft and chain on the windlass.
Any recommendations?
I did some cursory research, and this item seems to be more complicated than I imagined.
1) Use a swivel that is one or two sizes up. "Up" from what, the chain? Suppose the chain is 1/4". What's the next size up?
2) The swivel material seems to be important, with the recommendation to use an "alloy" material. However, "alloy" is a very broad category.
Apparently, there have been significant, catastrophic failures at the swivel point, because the swivel was made of compromised material. Any thoughts on the best material?

No answer here but I did see a video somewhere on YouTube addressing this issue a while back while surfing the internet.
