This is my first boat with a windlass anchor. How can you determine how much chain has been let out without a digital counter?

I painted a link "Mustang Yellow" every 10'. I love shouting out 3 shots to my wife when she is setting the anchor - don't judge me :D

Best boating scene ever. Hysterical. Thanks for brining back memories. Saw that many many years ago.
