Gen3 Marine 5-7004 Hot Dipped Galvanized Anchor Chain 1/4 Inch x 4 Feet with Two 5/16 Inch Shackles

The Gen3 Marine 5-7004 is a hot dipped galvanized anchor chain and shackle kit designed to strengthen your anchor's hold on the seabed. Adding a length of chain between your anchor and rode is a standard rigging practice: the chain's weight helps keep the anchor's shank at a lower angle for better bite, and its abrasion resistance protects the rest of your anchor line from being cut or worn down by rocks, shells, and coral on the bottom.

This kit includes 4 feet of 1/4 inch chain, hot dipped galvanized for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments. Two 5/16 inch anchor shackles are included, giving you the hardware needed to connect the chain to your anchor on one end and your anchor rode on the other, without having to source connecting hardware separately.
