Lost anchor/chain 282. Where do I find replacement?

[282Captain]

I finally did it. After a lifetime of nearly perfect anchoring, I just lost my anchor and chain. 2006 Cobalt 282 with Maxwell Windless. Where do I get replacement chain and anchor. Whist size?

I bought both from a local marina ship store. They are knowledgeable, I can look through the product catalog, the price was very close to online, and it makes returns easy. The chain size is specced to the windlass. Check the Maxwell site for that info. Length of chain is determined by the depth and conditions you typically anchor in.

"I just lost my anchor and chain."

How did that happen? The end of the chain/rope should be fixed to the anchor locker.
