[Public-list] Marking anchor chain

[Jack Vanderloo]

Thanks for the quick responses, but it wasn't so much the system as the 
visibility/durability of the paint.
After my 13 year love affair with my A30, I've moved up to an A37 that 
has an electric windlass.  I'll now be another 5' from the bow while at 
the helm.
I want to be able to mark off the first (last?) 10' feet or so that is 
always going to be buried in guck - as a means to warn me when weighing 
anchor, to ease up on the remote control that I intend to install in the 
cockpit.
Cheers
Jack
