Gen3 Marine 316 Stainless Steel 1/2 Inch Anchor Shackle with Screw Pin Closure

The Gen3 Marine 316 Stainless Steel Anchor Shackle is a 1/2 inch round shackle built for connecting anchor chain and rode in harsh marine environments. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it resists corrosion from saltwater exposure better than lower grades of stainless, making it a durable choice for anchoring and general rigging duty aboard a boat. The rounded shape distributes load evenly and helps the shackle handle different anchoring conditions without binding or excessive wear on the chain or rope it connects.

This shackle uses a screw pin closure, which allows it to be assembled and disassembled by hand without special tools. That makes it easy to attach to an anchor, swivel, or chain link and just as easy to remove for maintenance, inspection, or swapping components. At 1/2 inch, it is sized for anchor and chain setups that call for a 1/2 inch shackle pin diameter. With an overall package weight of 0.7 pounds, it is sized for typical recreational and light commercial anchoring hardware rather than heavy commercial ground tackle.
