Lewmar HM30H200PX Anchor Rode - 30 ft 5/16 in G4 Chain with 200 ft 5/8 in 8-Plait Rope
The Lewmar HM30H200PX is a combination anchor rode pairing 30 feet of 5/16 inch G4 high test chain with 200 feet of 5/8 inch 8 plait nylon rope. It is built to complement the rope-chain gypsies fitted to all Lewmar windlasses, so the chain-to-rope transition feeds smoothly through the windlass drum without jamming or snagging during anchoring and retrieval.
The chain section is G4 high test chain that is hot dip galvanized to minimize corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments, and it is welded for high strength at every link. The chain is calibrated for even pitch, meaning the link spacing is held to a consistent dimension so it seats correctly and repeatably in a gypsy wheel. The rope section is 200 feet of 5/8 inch 8 plait line, a square-plait construction that resists hockling and is easy to handle and splice compared to twisted rope.
This rode is intended for boaters who need a long-range, windlass-compatible anchor line and chain combination in one assembly rather than sourcing and splicing chain and rope separately.
