Marking chain

Why not use the lead line markers, this way you will only have one set of depth indicators to worry about: -

At 2 fathoms-....Leather, with two lobes.(should look like a flat Milk-Bone biscuit)
3 ".........Leather, with three ends (like above, with 3 "lobes" at each end)
5 ".........White calico. (2" wide x 6"long strip)
7 ".........Red bunting. (same size as above)
10 "........Leather, with hole through it at each end.(same as above)
13 "........Blue serge.(same as above)
15 "........White calico.(same as above)
17 "........Red bunting.(same as above)
20 "........Strand of light line, with two knots in it at each end.
