Trying to assess if 300' of 5/16" G4 will practically fit in the anchor locker of a CHB 34. For those that have been successful with longer rode lengths what is the functional limit that you've found to work in said anchor locker? Seems like 200' will fit but not so sure when going 200+.
 
That would be a lot of weight in the bow of a 34’.
 
I had about 250ft. The problem with putting more is that you have to hand spread it while bringing it in.
 
So are you saying with 250' it would usually come in okay with all 250' out? I say usually because I know once in awhile chain will just create a pinnacle every now and then that have to knock down by hand. 250' is better than 200' so I am happy to hear you managed 250'.
 
My mistake - youstill have to flake the chain with much less than 250ft - it just gets worse!
 
Thanks for clarifying, it's helpful to know your experience vs. me guessing.
