I just purchased a 1986 CD330 and am looking for input regarding anyones experience loading appx. 300' of 5/16" HT chain in the chainlocker. At 300 lbs. it seems like a lot of weight in the bow. Has anyone done any chainlocker modifications to feed chain lower in the bow? My manual windlass is mounted on the aft edge of the anchor platform, but still fairly far forward in the chainlocker, so I'm also wondering how well the chain will self stow?
