Qué cubre este vídeo

Replacing an anchor chain requires precise measurements to ensure the new chain fits the windlass gypsy, as imperial and metric standards often conflict.2:21 To avoid costly errors, measure the chain's pitch, width, and diameter, or verify the specific chain requirements with the windlass manufacturer.3:01 Before purchasing, test a sample length of the new chain in the existing gypsy or bring the gypsy to the chandlery for a physical fit check.3:55 When replacing the chain, perform the work at a dockside facility to simplify the removal of the old chain and the loading of the new one.4:38 Secure the bitter end of the new chain to the boat before feeding it into the anchor locker.6:50 While the chain is removed, clean the anchor locker to remove rust buildup and apply color-coded markers to the chain to track deployed length.7:29 Proactive maintenance, including rotating the chain ends periodically, extends its service life and prevents link thinning.1:32
