What size anchor chain for Express 360?

[Saunders Mystic]

My anchor chain is starting to leave stains on the bow pulpit and I was thinking of replacing it. My best option would probably be to just take the old one with me to size the chain at the store but I was wondering if anyone knows the size that comes standard on the 360 with windless. I looked through the manuals but didn't see anything unless I just missed it.

Thanks

It depends on the windlass make and model, not the boat model Assuming that your current chain works well, I suggest you bring it to the store to match it.
You can also look up the info on the web site of the windlass manufacturer but you will need the model info.

The size anchor goes by weight of boat. the weight of the anchor goes by type of anchor used. the type of anchor used is dependent on what type of bottom you mostly anchor in. Below is a sizing guide by Mantus.
fluke is good for mud, plow is good for sand, graple is good for rock
The chain is important for holding power and should be 1' of chain per 1' foot of boat length

Given the limited use, why replace? I'd restring the rope and reuse the chain.
