Chain in this position adds weight low in the anchoring system, which helps hold the anchor at the correct angle against the seabed so it sets and holds rather than pulling loose. This chain is rated for use on boats anchoring in winds up to 30 knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chain is coated in a specially formulated, highly elastic red PVC that stretches as the chain flexes, allowing it to bend and coil easily for storage instead of kinking or binding the way bare metal chain can. The red coating also makes the chain easy to spot on deck or in a chain locker. For best results, connect the anchor, chain, and rode with steel shackles rather than improvised connectors, since the shackles are the load-bearing links between each section of the ground tackle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anchor chain is intended as a universal ground-tackle accessory rather than a boat-specific or engine-specific part, so it is suited to recreational boats within the stated wind rating rather than a single make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenfield Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2116-RD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 x 0.31 x 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e PVC-coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Wind Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 30 knots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Connectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel shackles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 025552211629\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Greenfield Products 2116-RD anchor chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2116-RD is a 5\/16 inch link chain, 5 feet in length, with overall product dimensions of 60 x 0.31 x 0.31 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do I need chain between my anchor and anchor line?\u003c\/strong\u003e Chain adds weight low in the anchoring system so the anchor sets at the correct angle and holds more securely; the 2116-RD is a 5\/16 inch x 5 foot chain made for exactly this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the PVC coating on this anchor chain for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Greenfield Products 2116-RD is coated in a specially formulated, highly elastic red PVC that stretches as the chain moves, letting it bend and coil easily instead of kinking like bare chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boat size or conditions is this chain rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2116-RD is recommended for boats anchoring in winds up to 30 knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 2116-RD anchor chain weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This anchor chain weighs 4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the 2116-RD chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e Red - the PVC coating on the 2116-RD is red, which also makes the chain easier to see on deck or in a chain locker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I connect the anchor, chain, and anchor line together?\u003c\/strong\u003e For best performance, connect the anchor, the 2116-RD chain, and the anchor line using steel shackles rather than other hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 2116-RD chain rated for a specific boat make or model?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 2116-RD is a universal anchor chain accessory rated by wind condition (up to 30 knots) rather than a specific boat make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the PVC coating protect against rust?\u003c\/strong\u003e The red PVC coating on the 2116-RD fully encases the chain, which helps protect the metal underneath from the elements while also cushioning it against the hull or deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with the Greenfield Products 2116-RD?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2116-RD ships as a single 5\/16 inch by 5 foot length of red PVC-coated anchor chain; shackles for connecting it to the anchor and rode are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfield Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031103152347,"sku":"G-P-2116-RD","price":26.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/71YY42Zw0dL.jpg?v=1785208891","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/greenfield-products-2116-rd-5-16-inch-x-5-foot-pvc-coated-marine-anchor-chain-red","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
