With the depth you are talking about it is not a lot of chain. Do it right the first time.
A chain of proper length should not be dragging in the sand. Ours was measured to give just enough slack at a record high full lake to make the connection, and in lesser depth times the raft drifts just enough to keep it taught and not resting on bottom.

Totally agree with you codeman on the stainless. As I mentioned earlier, we got 6 years out of our galvanized chain. The whole set-up will be stainless this year. Unfortunately out raft is in 30' of water so it is not an easy task to replace
