boat anchor chain markers
Marking anchor chain. story by tim murphy photos by mark corke. here's how to make quick work of setting the right scope every time you anchor. plastic "blocks" that snap into chain links are just one of many ways to mark anchor chain. other boaters favor colored wire ties, rope, ribbon, or even paint.. How can you mark and measure your chain? the best way is with chain markers or paint, using a marking system to tell you at a glance how much you have set. in our experience, cable ties are a poor way to mark anchor chain. when using a mechanical chain counter system, be sure to mark your chain as a backup.. With any system to mark anchor chain, you come up with a color scheme (in the us, red-white-blue is popular) and a distance apart for the markings. on our previous boat, 300 feet of chain was marked every 50 feet. first red = 50 feet; first white = 100; first blue = 150; second red = 200; second white = 250; second blue = 300; ways to mark.
