Doug,

I don't see a chain grabber in the current W.Marine catalog buy do see a
chain grabber for $20 in Hamilton Marine's.

The add says the shackle holes are 1/2", which apparently requires a
shackle to use.

How exactly does the manufacturer intend that it be used, assuming it's
like yours ?

It took some looking but I found it. It slips over the chain like a logging
chain hook would, but has two sides. Shackles through the holes, lines
through the shackles and then yoked off to the forward cleats.

I currently use the logging hook and rode method, but it's only one side,
causing some imbalance. I might spring for the 20 bux, as it should cause
it to ride straight.
