That's got me wondering what size my chain is. I'll have to go check.

You may own the throne on chain. What kind of winch.7/16" Grade 43 (G4). 350' - that's 700lb in weight (21,600lb breaking strength).
Thanks for making me check - now I know!

A chain rigged tight across 2 posts (anchors) with 1000lbs (boat) pulling from the center exerts 2000lbs pull on each post not 500lbs as most would assume.
Our Maritime Authority decreed fore and aft moorings, more boats in a given space = more mooring licensing fees, but there was an outcry, and some expert opposition based on the loadings imposed, it got dropped most places. I`ve seen it at Angel Isl in SF, can`t be much fun hooking up.
