Greenfield Products Anchor Lead Chain 1/4 Inch x 4 Feet, Yellow Vinyl Coated, 2115-Y

The Greenfield Products 2115-Y is a 1/4 inch by 4 foot anchor lead chain finished in a yellow vinyl coating, built to connect your anchor to the anchor rode line. A lead chain like this adds weight near the anchor, which helps the anchor dig into the seabed and keeps the pull on the anchor closer to horizontal for better holding power. The added chain length also protects the anchor line from chafing and abrasion against rocks, coral, or the seabed, extending the life of the rope rode above it.

The yellow vinyl coating over the steel chain makes the lead chain highly visible on deck and in the water, which helps when handling the anchor and inspecting the chain for wear, while also adding a layer of protection against rust and corrosion compared to bare steel chain. This anchor lead chain is sized for smaller anchor and rode setups and is intended to be shackled between the anchor and the rope rode.
