Running chain along the seabed-facing end of your ground tackle keeps the pull on the anchor low and horizontal, which helps the anchor dig in and set more effectively, while the chain itself resists the chafe and wear that a rope-only rode would suffer from rocks, coral, and other bottom debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit measures 3\/16 inch in diameter and 4 feet in length, and is finished with a hot dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments. It comes complete with two 1\/4 inch anchor shackles, one for connecting the chain to the anchor and one for connecting the chain to the anchor line, so the kit is ready to install without sourcing separate hardware.\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 5-7003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hot Dipped Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Shackles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two 1\/4 inch anchor shackles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 x 7.25 x 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anchor Chain \u0026amp; Shackles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810037461961\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Gen3 Marine 5-7003 anchor chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-7003 chain measures 3\/16 inch in diameter and 4 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit include shackles?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 5-7003 kit includes two 1\/4 inch anchor shackles, enough to connect the chain to both the anchor and the anchor line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the chain made of and how is it finished?\u003c\/strong\u003e The chain is hot dipped galvanized, a coating process that gives it corrosion resistance for use in saltwater and freshwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy add a length of chain to an anchor line?\u003c\/strong\u003e A short length of chain like the Gen3 Marine 5-7003 adds weight near the anchor to help it set and hold, and it protects the anchor line from wearing against the seabed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the anchor chain and shackle kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-7003 kit weighs 1.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5-7003 kit ships in a package measuring 7 x 7.25 x 3.25 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this chain suitable for saltwater use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the hot dipped galvanized finish on the Gen3 Marine 5-7003 chain is designed to resist corrosion in saltwater as well as freshwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I install the anchor chain and shackles?\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect one shackle between the anchor and one end of the 5-7003 chain, then connect the second shackle between the other end of the chain and your anchor line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size shackle pin comes with this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The two anchor shackles included with the 5-7003 kit are 1\/4 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this chain fit any boat anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-7003 is a general-purpose anchor chain and shackle kit, connected via its included 1\/4 inch shackles rather than being sized to one specific anchor model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991681642715,"sku":"GEN-5-7003","price":5.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51EE7IiJqvL.jpg?v=1784509824","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-hdg-galvanized-anchor-chain-kit-3-16-in-x-4-ft-with-two-1-4-in-shackles","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
