Trac Outdoors 200 ft Anchor Rode with 20 ft Chain, 9/32 in Nylon Double Braid Rope, 2400 lb Break Strength (69083)

The Trac Outdoors 69083 is a 200 foot rope and 20 foot chain anchor rode built for use with Trac brand electric winches as well as other drum winches and windlasses. The 200 foot (61 m) section is a full nylon double braid rope measuring 9/32 inch (7 mm) in diameter, chosen for its flexibility and reduced twisting compared to single braid construction, along with strong resistance to shock loading and abrasion. The rope is joined to a 20 foot (6 m) G43 galvanized short-link marine chain, giving the combination added weight near the anchor for better setting and reduced chafe on rocky or coral bottoms.

The rope-to-chain connection uses a core-to-cover eye splice, meaning both the core and the cover of the double braid rope share the load rather than the cover alone. The splice is finished with a stainless steel thimble and secured with nylon whipping, which locks the splice in place and prevents slippage under load. The complete rode carries a break strength of 2,400 lbs (1,089 kg), and the assembly weighs 23 pounds. This rode is designed as a cost effective rope and chain combination for boat owners who want a durable ground tackle setup without the expense of an all-chain rode.
