Greenfield Products 2115-W Anchor Lead Chain, 1/4 Inch x 4 Feet, White, Aluminum

The Greenfield Products 2115-W is a coated anchor lead chain sized at 1/4 inch by 4 feet, finished in white. Anchor lead chain is installed between the anchor and the anchor rode (rope) to add weight near the anchor, helping it dig in and set properly on the bottom while also protecting the rope from chafing against rock, coral, or a rough seabed. This chain is made of aluminum and finished with a white coating to match light-colored rope and rail hardware, giving a clean, coordinated look at the bow.

Because it is aluminum rather than galvanized steel, the 2115-W offers a lighter-weight option for boat owners who want the benefits of a lead chain, better anchor set, chafe protection, added catenary, without adding significant weight to the ground tackle. It ships as a single 4 foot length, ready to connect between the anchor shackle and the anchor line.
