Gen3 Marine Stainless Steel Anchor Swivel Connector, 5/16 Inch - 3/8 Inch (8-10mm), 360 Degree Rotation
The Gen3 Marine Stainless Steel Anchor Swivel Connector (5-7084) attaches between your anchor and chain, or between the chain and line, to keep rope from twisting and to prevent snagging while anchoring. Built from corrosion resistant stainless steel, it rotates a full 360 degrees so the anchor can turn freely with current and wind without transferring that twist up through the rode. This lets the anchor set and reset naturally on the seabed while keeping your line and chain tangle-free above it.
Sized for 5/16 inch to 3/8 inch (8-10mm) chain and rope, it works as a straightforward connection point in a typical anchor rode setup: anchor to swivel, swivel to chain, and chain to line. The stainless steel construction is intended to stand up to saltwater exposure without the rust and pitting that plain steel hardware develops over time.
