[C320-list] Politics, Religion and Anchors

[jonvez at comcast.net]

Thanks Joe. I have the FX-11 as my back up anchor and really like it. Perhaps I'll just upgrade this one to an FX-16 and be done with it. Two questions--Does it fit in the built in moldings in the anchor locker and how much chain do you use? Thanks...

Regards,

Jon
