SeaSense Stainless Steel Anchor Chain, 5/16 Inch x 6 Feet

The SeaSense Stainless Steel Anchor Chain is a 5/16 inch x 6 foot chain built to connect your anchor to your rode with a polished, corrosion-resistant finish that holds up even after prolonged exposure to harsh marine conditions. Made from stainless steel, this chain gives boat owners a cleaner, brighter look on deck compared to a galvanized finish while still delivering serious holding strength, with a working load of 2000 pounds and a break strength of 8000 pounds. Its primary use is as the connecting link between an anchor and anchor rode, adding weight and abrasion resistance near the seabed so the rode itself is protected from rocks, coral, and rough bottom conditions. The polished stainless steel surface resists rust and staining, making it a good fit for boaters who want their ground tackle to match other stainless hardware on board. At 5/16 inch link thickness and 6 feet in length, it is sized for anchors and rode setups that call for this gauge of chain. This chain ships as a single unit and is intended as a straightforward upgrade or replacement for worn or corroded anchor chain on recreational boats.
