Trac Outdoor Anchor Rode 300 ft Rope with 20 ft Chain, 5/16 in Nylon Double Braid, 2900 lb Break Strength, Part 69084

This Trac Outdoor anchor rode combines 300 feet of 5/16 inch full nylon double braid rope with 20 feet of 1/4 inch G43 galvanized short-link marine chain, giving boaters a strong, cost-effective rope and chain package built for windlass and winch use. The rope is premium windlass-grade double braid nylon, chosen for its flexibility and resistance to twisting, shock loading, and abrasion during anchoring. The rope-to-chain connection is professionally spliced with a stainless steel thimble, and the splice is finished with nylon whipping that locks the splice in place to prevent slippage under load. The eye splice itself is core-to-cover, meaning both the core and the cover of the braided rope share the working load rather than one component bearing the strain alone. The assembly carries a break strength of 2,900 pounds, giving a margin of holding power for anchoring and retrieval. It is designed for use with Trac brand electric anchor winches as well as other drum winches or windlasses that accept a rope and chain rode of this diameter. The combination of nylon rope and galvanized short-link chain is a common anchor rode setup because the chain adds weight and abrasion resistance near the anchor while the nylon rope keeps the overall rode lighter and easier to stow and retrieve on a drum winch.
