You should be ale to go all chain on the Freedom 800. Has to be the correct chain though; 5/16" G40 if I remember correctly. The 800 can pull a total weight of 364kg of rode and anchor. Yes you can splice rope onto the chain. Use 5/8" 3 strand.

Peter, we have a freedom 800, boat weighs around 18,000 all loaded and it is all chain,believe it is the same size chain Viper said, about 175' when we pulled it out to paint the depths on it.....all good......... :beergood:
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
