Lewmar G4 Chain & 8-Plait Rope Anchor Rode - Available in 10' to 30' Chain with 150' to 200' Rope

The Lewmar Anchor Rode pairs hot-dip galvanized G4 windlass chain with premium nylon rope in a factory splice, giving you a ready-to-deploy rode sized for Lewmar horizontal and vertical windlasses. Each rode arrives pre-measured and pre-spliced so there is no shackling or splicing to do at the dock - just flake it into the anchor locker and go. The G4 chain link profile is calibrated to feed smoothly and self-launch through Lewmar chainwheels and gypsies without jamming, while the nylon rope section adds stretch to absorb shock loads in a seaway and keeps overall rode weight and locker volume manageable compared to all-chain setups.

This line spans multiple chain and rope lengths so you can match the rode to your windlass, anchor locker depth, and typical anchoring depths. Shorter chain sections (10 ft) suit smaller lockers and lighter boats, while longer 15 ft and 30 ft chain sections add extra chafe protection and catenary for deeper anchorages or heavier displacement boats. Rope sections run from 150 ft up to 200 ft to cover coastal cruising and extended offshore anchoring needs.

Sizes & Options

Match the rode to your ground tackle setup: check your windlass model's compatible chain diameter first (1/4 inch or 5/16 inch), then choose a chain length based on your locker depth and desired catenary, and finally pick a rope length that gives you at least a 5:1 to 7:1 scope at your typical anchoring depth. If you regularly anchor in deeper water or want extra stretch and abrasion resistance, the 8-plait rope options are the more robust choice; the 3-strand nylon option is a lighter-duty, more economical alternative.
