Windline Anchor Lock AL-1 Stainless Steel Quick-Release Chain Pin, Fits Up to 7/16 Inch Chain

The Windline Anchor Lock AL-1 is a stainless steel quick-release pin designed to hold anchor chain or shackle securely in place. It is built to fit chain up to 7/16 inch and is rated for anchors up to 70 lbs, making it a practical addition for securing ground tackle on smaller to mid-size boats. The pin has a polished stainless steel finish that resists corrosion in a marine environment while giving a clean, finished look at the bow roller or anchor locker.

The AL-1 uses a channel-style screw head and a 5/16 inch thread size, with a pin diameter of 0.44 inches sized to match a compatible groove diameter of 0.44 inches, so it seats properly against the chain link or shackle it is holding. Overall item dimensions are 9 x 8.5 x 2 inches, with the lock itself measuring 1.5 inches by 4 inches. It ships as a single piece.

This anchor lock is intended for boaters who want a simple, quick-release way to keep anchor chain from running out unintentionally, without needing a complex mechanism. The stainless steel construction is built to hold up to saltwater and UV exposure over repeated use.
