Can anyone tell me the diameter size of the stock 22 cruiser anchor chain and rope set up? It seems that I need this info in order to select the proper windlass .

Thanks!

Most 22's use a 1/4 inch high test chain and 1/2 inch three strand anchor line. C-Cakes has 35 ft of chain and 200 feet of line for a total rode of 235 ft. If I were to do it over I would keep that amount of chain and go up to 300 ft of line. The anchor "locker" seems to handle this with no difficulty.
 
Thanks! Will be ordering a new windlass today. This really helps!

What a great forum!

Ditto on the 25, Barry. 50' of chain & 175 of line. Wish I had gone to >250 of line. PLENTY of space in the anchor locker.
