Question about chain over bow rollers for you all.
The chain pictured has been used as the 'back up' to two rope stops on a swinging mooring for a 27' boat.
It appears to be cracking at the weld on the link which sits on the bow roller. I have had a chain fail at this point many years ago on a smaller boat so am always carful to check!
I thought it was a very heave gauge chain for a 28' boat so am surprised its cracked - is there anything i can do to prevent this?
