Gen3 Marine Galvanized Anchor Shackle, 1/4 Inch, Single

The Gen3 Marine Galvanized Anchor Shackle is a 1/4 inch single shackle used to connect an anchor to chain or rode, or to join sections of anchor chain together. Built from galvanized steel, it resists corrosion from saltwater and marine spray, making it suitable for use as part of an anchoring system on boats that are regularly exposed to the elements. The single-shackle design provides a straightforward, secure connection point where a pin passes through the shackle body and chain or anchor shank link, allowing the assembly to pivot as the boat swings at anchor. At 1/4 inch, it is sized for lighter-duty anchor rode and chain setups where a compact, low-profile connector is needed. As a wear item exposed to constant load and saltwater immersion, an anchor shackle should be inspected periodically for pitting, thread wear, or pin looseness and replaced if any of these are found, since it is a critical link between the boat and its ground tackle.
