Tie Down Engineering Galvanized Anchor Chain and Shackle Kit, 3/8 in. X 6 ft., 2,650 lbs Working Load

This Tie Down Engineering anchor chain and shackle kit pairs a 3/8 in. X 6 ft. Galvanized chain with two shackles, giving boaters a ready-to-use link between anchor and anchor line. The chain adds weight near the anchor so it lies flatter on the bottom and helps the anchor set and hold, while also protecting the anchor rode from abrasion on rock, coral, and other bottom debris. Both the chain and shackles are hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in fresh and salt water, and the kit is rated for a working load of 2,650 lbs., suitable for anchoring applications that call for a 3/8 in. Chain size. Because the kit includes the shackles needed to connect the chain to both the anchor and the rode, it installs without sourcing separate hardware. This chain and shackle set is intended as a general-purpose anchoring accessory for recreational boats and is not limited to a specific make or model of boat.
