Davis Instruments AnchorSnubber Anchor Chain Shock Absorber, Black, 20 Inch (51 cm)

The Davis Instruments AnchorSnubber is a shock-absorbing line that helps a boat ride comfortably at anchor, even in rough anchorages, adverse currents, or strong winds. It attaches directly to the anchor chain, rope anchor rode, or an anchor snubber line, cushioning the sudden shock loads that would otherwise transfer straight to the anchor, chain, bow roller, and windlass. By absorbing that shock, the AnchorSnubber also eliminates the loud chain noise and vibration that can keep a crew awake when anchored over rock or in choppy conditions.

Installation is quick and straightforward, requiring no tools or permanent modification to the ground tackle. The AnchorSnubber connects using two 316 stainless steel captive key pin shackles, which resist corrosion in saltwater environments and keep the line securely attached during use. The webbing itself measures 20 inches (51 cm) long and is built to fit most anchor chains, making it a versatile addition to a boat's anchoring setup regardless of chain size or type.
