T&T: Anchor chain washing

[Wray West]

Regarding a fixed anchor chain washdown, I'd like to hear from 
someone who has done this for tips on making it work.

I use a hand held pressure washer to clean my chain.  But many of the 
places I anchor the mud is so thick that I have to bring it up a 
couple of feet at a time for the person to clean it off from all 
different angles.  It seems like I would need multiple nozzles from 
different directions or a huge volume of water, such that it didn't 
matter.  Then there is the issue of if the chain is not coming 
directly up (sometimes I am not able to keep the bow directly over 
the chain that has wandered a bit .)
