Lewmar Anchor Rode 5/8 Inch x 250 Feet Rope with 20 Feet 5/16 Inch G4 Chain and 3/8 Inch Shackle

This Lewmar anchor rode is a complete, ready-to-deploy anchoring package that pairs 250 feet of 5/8 inch rope with 20 feet of 5/16 inch G4 chain and a 3/8 inch shackle. The chain-to-rope configuration is a standard anchoring setup: the chain section adds weight near the anchor to help it dig in and lie flat on the seabed, improving holding power and reducing shock loading on the rode, while the long rope section keeps the overall package lightweight and easy to store and handle compared to an all-chain rode. The included 3/8 inch shackle connects the chain to the anchor, so the rode is ready to attach and use without sourcing separate hardware.

With 250 feet of rope, this rode is sized for anchoring in a wide range of depths, and the 20 foot chain leader is a common length used to improve scope and holding without adding the full weight of an all-chain rode. This package is sold as a complete rope, chain, and shackle assembly, making it a straightforward replacement or upgrade for boat owners who want a matched, pre-configured rode rather than assembling rope, chain, and hardware separately.
