It pairs 15 feet of 1\/4 inch G4 chain at the anchor end with 200 feet of 1\/2 inch diameter 8-plait nylon rode, joined with a 5\/16 inch shackle so the whole assembly is ready to connect directly to your anchor. The chain section sits closest to the anchor, adding weight and abrasion resistance right where the rode contacts the seabed, chocks, and bow roller, while the long nylon rode section keeps the overall package lighter and easier to store and handle than an all-chain rode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8-plait construction of the nylon rode is a common choice for anchor lines because it resists hockling (twisting into kinks) better than twisted-strand rope, which matters when the rode is repeatedly paid out and hauled back in through a windlass or by hand. The hardware included in the assembly, including the shackle, is stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. This rode and chain combination is sold as a complete unit under part number HM15H300PX.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lewmar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HM15H300PX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anchor Rode with Chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e G4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRode Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRode Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRode Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-Plait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShackle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRode Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Lewmar HM15H300PX anchor rode?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HM15H300PX is a complete assembly: 200 feet of 1\/2 inch diameter 8-plait nylon rode pre-attached to 15 feet of 1\/4 inch G4 chain by a 5\/16 inch shackle, ready to connect to your anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the chain section on this anchor rode?\u003c\/strong\u003e The chain section of the Lewmar HM15H300PX measures 15 feet, made of 1\/4 inch G4 chain that sits at the anchor end of the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the rope section?\u003c\/strong\u003e The nylon rode section of part number HM15H300PX is 200 feet long and 1\/2 inch in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of rope construction does this rode use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Lewmar uses 8-plait nylon construction for the HM15H300PX rode, a braided style chosen for anchor line because it resists hockling and kinking compared to twisted rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size shackle connects the chain to the rode?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 5\/16 inch shackle joins the chain and rope sections on the HM15H300PX assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the hardware on this anchor rode corrosion resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the shackle and other fastener hardware on the Lewmar HM15H300PX are stainless steel, suited to saltwater and freshwater marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the HM15H300PX anchor rode weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The complete Lewmar HM15H300PX rode and chain assembly weighs 44.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the rode have chain instead of being all rope?\u003c\/strong\u003e Adding a length of chain, 15 feet of G4 chain in the case of the HM15H300PX, puts weight and abrasion resistance at the anchor end where the rode rubs against the seabed, chocks, and bow roller, while the nylon rope section keeps the overall rode lighter than an all-chain setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Lewmar product?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the HM15H300PX is a genuine Lewmar anchor rode assembly, identified by that manufacturer part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this rode with a windlass?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 8-plait nylon construction of the HM15H300PX is a style commonly used with anchor windlasses because it feeds and stores more smoothly than twisted rope, though you should confirm the 1\/2 inch rode and 1\/4 inch chain dimensions match your specific windlass gypsy before installing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lewmar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025134952667,"sku":"LEW-HM15H300PX","price":1229.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51JB_ukDMfL.jpg?v=1785331079","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/lewmar-anchor-rode-8-plait-nylon-with-5-16-inch-g4-chain-and-shackle-hm15h300px","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
