Chain vs nylon anchor rode

[Squid1962]

I have a 330 express whose anchor tackle in 30’ of chain and the test three strand. I was thinking of changing it out and replace with all chain.

Pros, cons?

Chain is heavy & bulky - are you having a problem holding? What anchor do you have? I would suggest more chain, but not all chain. I have a 2003 330 Express, with a Delta 22 lb. anchor, 50 ft. of 1/4" HT chain and 300' of 8 plait nylon line. With this configuration, I have never had a problem holding.
