Gen3 Marine Stainless Steel Anchor Swivel Connector, 1/4 in - 5/16 in (6-8mm) Chain, 360 Degree Rotation

The Gen3 Marine Anchor Swivel Connector links your anchor rope to your anchor chain while letting the two rotate independently, so the line does not twist or kink as the anchor sets and the boat swings on the wind or current. Built from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments, this connector rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing the chain and anchor to turn freely without transferring twist back up the rope.

Installation is straightforward: attach the swivel between the anchor and the chain, or between the chain and the line, using standard shackles or connectors sized to fit. It is sized for 1/4 inch to 5/16 inch (6-8mm) anchor chain, making it a compact, lightweight addition to a ground tackle setup that helps prevent snagging and line fouling during anchoring and retrieval.
