< My $.02, paint is better for chain marking. Easier to see from the bridge when using the remote windlass. Just re-apply occasionally. Dayglo rules! > It is only easy if you can see the bow from the bridge! As mine is 30' feet away I find it much easier to just look at my watch, which is much closer. My windlass powers out at a set speed, as do all of them, in my case one foot per second, making it very easy to know how much chain is out. Bob Phillips, Another Asylum, Tortola, BVI
