I have a 360 model and my windlass sometimes slips on the anchor line. Im leaning towards replacing the line with all chain. Currently have around 20ft of chain then transitions to line.
Has anyone else done this? Any negatives to this conversion? Ive done the research, its only about 180lbs for 150' of chain, so Im not worried about that.
