The chain measures 3\/8 inch by 6 feet and is hot dipped galvanized for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments. The kit includes two 7\/16 inch anchor shackles, giving you everything needed to connect the chain to both your anchor and your anchor line without sourcing additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdding chain to an anchor rode lowers the angle of pull on the anchor, helping it dig in and hold more securely, while the weight of the galvanized chain keeps the rode running along the bottom rather than chafing against rocks, coral, or sand. This kit is sized for boat owners who want a straightforward, ready-to-install upgrade to their 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 5-7006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShackle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShackles Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hot Dipped Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Gen3 Marine anchor chain in this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The chain in the Gen3 Marine Anchor Chain and Shackle Kit (part number 5-7006) measures 3\/8 inch in diameter and is 6 feet long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many shackles come with the kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Two 7\/16 inch anchor shackles are included with the 5-7006 kit, enough to connect the chain to both the anchor and the anchor line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the chain have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The chain is hot dipped galvanized, a finish chosen for corrosion resistance in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy add chain between the anchor and the rode?\u003c\/strong\u003e A length of chain like the 3\/8 inch x 6 foot chain in this kit lowers the angle of pull on the anchor, helping it set and hold better, and its weight keeps the line off the seabed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit protect my anchor line from wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the galvanized chain section protects the anchor line from abrasion caused by contact with the seabed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Gen3 Marine anchor chain and shackle kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit weighs 8.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the 5-7006 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes one 3\/8 inch x 6 foot hot dipped galvanized anchor chain and two 7\/16 inch anchor shackles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the shackle size the same as the chain size?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the chain is 3\/8 inch while the two included shackles are 7\/16 inch, sized to properly connect to the chain and rode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this chain work with any anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-7006 kit is a general-purpose anchor chain and shackle upgrade intended to connect between an anchor and anchor line; check your existing rode and anchor connection points for compatibility with a 3\/8 inch chain and 7\/16 inch shackles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Gen3 Marine chain suitable for saltwater use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the hot dipped galvanized finish on the 5-7006 chain is designed to resist corrosion in saltwater as well as freshwater.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991682527451,"sku":"GEN-5-7006","price":15.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51EE7IiJqvL_e0d7dc01-8ebe-488d-b531-c883975c0530.jpg?v=1784509848","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-3-8-x-6-hot-dipped-galvanized-anchor-chain-kit-with-two-7-16-shackles","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
