Boy am I glad I brought up the question. I'll just go to the boat tomorrow and find out what windlass I have and go from there. Thanks for all y'alls help.

I’m confused didn’t @Angus ask the question….. where was your question?Boy am I glad I brought up the question. I'll just go to the boat tomorrow and find out what windlass I have and go from there. Thanks for all y'alls help.
It all depends on the depth of where you anchor and the conditions. Anywhere from a 3:1 to a 7:1 scope. Be prepared with more than you anticipate.So would 100 ft be enough for around Cape cod

390 DA anchor rope size? I just got a bucket from West Marine of 9/16 rope and 5/16 chain and I'm second guessing myself. Should I have 5/8? Will the 9/16 work with the windlass? I'm all confused.... As usual.
I just went through this. Mine had 5/8” line and 5/16” chain. My windlass excepts 5/8” or 9/16” line, so I decided to go with 9/16” and braided the 3 strand nylon line to the chain. I added a Mantus S2 swivel. I had never braided the line before but like @Soulshine stated YouTube is your friend. IMO it came out perfectly.View attachment 142066The windlass will for sure dictate the size needed.
