but here in the northeast there are some areas with super gooey mud that is very difficult to clean just by dipping and running slow. I would end up by bringing the muddy anchor up and dislodging mud with boat hook alternately with repeated douses of seawater from a bucket. A real PITA while drifting in the anchorage.

I decided to install it on Double Horizon and it was worth the time and expense. A strong wash-down in a concentrated stream is a luxury -- it punches through the thickest mud and also makes it easier to clean the chain as it comes in.
