I'm new to dealing with a windlass so have done a little research to get the gist of the whole process. I'm in a 330DA with a chain/rope rode. What I understand is that when setting the anchor and at anchor, the rode should be cleated off to take the stress off the windlass...makes sense to me. The issue is, the 330DA only has cleats that aren't friendly to doing that. Should I add a cleat closer to the centerline of the boat or possibly a chock to route the rope rode through and use an existing bow cleat? What's your advice?
