I put my mooring back in yesterday. The setup I use worked fine.

When I replaced my mooring chain a year ago, I kept the old chain. When removing the mooring in the Fall, I tie a rope to the mooring chain and run it toward shore. I then use the old mooring chain for the last 15 or so feet and drop it to the bottom.

The chain keeps the rope on the bottom, and it's easy to pick up with an iron rake come Spring.
