{"product_id":"gen3-marine-1-4-galvanized-anchor-shackle-single-bow-shackle-for-anchor-chain-rode","title":"Gen3 Marine Galvanized Anchor Shackle, 1\/4 Inch, Single","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen3 Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-7023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanized steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810037462043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anchor Chain and Shackles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Gen3 Marine anchor shackle?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine anchor shackle, part number 5-7023, is a 1\/4 inch size shackle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a single or twin shackle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 5-7023 is a single shackle, not a twin or double configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the shackle made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e This anchor shackle is made from galvanized steel, which provides corrosion resistance for marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the anchor shackle weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 1\/4 inch anchor shackle weighs 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this shackle used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This 1\/4 inch galvanized shackle, Gen3 Marine part 5-7023, is used to connect an anchor to chain or rode, or to join sections of anchor chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill saltwater corrode this shackle?\u003c\/strong\u003e The galvanized steel finish on the Gen3 Marine 5-7023 shackle is designed to resist corrosion from saltwater exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should an anchor shackle be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e An anchor shackle such as the 5-7023 should be inspected periodically for pitting, thread wear, or pin looseness and replaced if any of these signs are found, since it carries the anchoring load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the anchor shackle include a pin?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-7023 shackle is a complete single shackle assembly with its pin included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for this product?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Gen3 Marine 1\/4 inch galvanized anchor shackle (part 5-7023) is 810037462043.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this shackle be used to join chain sections instead of an anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 1\/4 inch single shackle can be used to connect chain sections together in addition to attaching an anchor to rode or chain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991686066395,"sku":"GEN-5-7023","price":0.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/i_b5c55dd7-854f-488c-bcaa-acf1a34eec4d.jpg?v=1785349356","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-1-4-galvanized-anchor-shackle-single-bow-shackle-for-anchor-chain-rode","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
