Hi.
Just this year I replaced my anchor rode with chain.
I find that the chain is not able to drop straight down into the anchor locker because of the design of the anchor locker.
The anchor locker wall is not straight down it goes down on an angle. So the chain follows the slope of the wall then piles up until it backs up into the windless. Then the windless jams. To combat the jamming I push the pile of chain over until it builds up again. The anchor locker is definitely not full, the chain backs up on the wall.
This means that I must be at the locker all the time watching and pushing the pile over instead of using the remote.
Has anyone found a solution??
