Courtney,

You might want to invest in a copy of The Complete Book of
Anchoring and Mooring by Earl R. Hinz. Well worth having.

Details of the snubber itself as well as it's deployment would be
appreciated.

Cordially,
Courtney

A good long nylon snubber is essential with an all chain anchor
system. It eliminates the "snatching" when you bounce up and down, it
takes the strain off the windlass, and it adds some elasticity to the
line not to mention the lack of clacking. I use a 30 ft snubber,
increasing the length as the conditions worsen. Usually only 10 feet
or so's out.
