Greenfield Products Anchor Lead Chain, 5/16 Inch x 5 Feet, Yellow

The Greenfield Products Anchor Lead Chain (2116-Y) is a 5/16 inch diameter, 5 foot length chain finished in high-visibility yellow, designed to connect between an anchor and anchor rode. Using a length of chain at the anchor end adds weight low in the rode, which helps the anchor lie flat and dig into the bottom for a stronger set, while also protecting the rode from chafing on rocks, coral, and shell bottoms near the anchor.

This anchor lead chain ships as a single unit and is manufactured in the United States. The yellow finish makes the chain easy to spot on deck or in a chain locker, which is useful when handling ground tackle in low light or checking chain condition before a trip. It is sized to work with anchor and rode setups that call for a 5/16 inch lead chain, a common size for recreational boats pairing chain with rope rode through a shackle or thimble connection.
