Would appreciate some suggestions on how to mark anchor chain....

============================================

I use nylon wire ties. One at fifty feet, two at 100 feet, three at
150, etc., easy to extrapolate mid distances if necessary. They break
off once in awhile but are easy to replace and about as inexpensive as
you can get.
They pass through the windlass with no problem and I can see them from
the flybridge at least 20 feet away. You can also buy them in different
colors if you want to get really elaborate.

After trying a bunch of other stuff, I've settled on these too. They
definately last the longest -- in fact none have come off yet. The
flourescent colored ones are easy to see under the water, even at night
(with lights of course).
