Grade 40 Hot Dip Galvanized High Test Chain
When selecting ground tackle components, consider our Hot Dipped Galvanized High Test Chain. In the hot-dip process this chain is specially shot-peened before galvanizing to create the longest lasting protection against corrosion. Two-year guarantee against rusting. Made of high-carbon steel, it resists wear, making it a good choice for abrasive anchoring situations. It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than Proof Coil or BBB. With links slightly longer than BBB, it is the chain specified for use with many of the windlasses we sell. Sold by the foot in lengths up to the size of the standard pack. Two-year warranty.

Comments about West Marine Grade 40 Hot Dip Galvanized High Test Chain:
Why try to save a buck or two on lines or chains that protect your investment?? Save on something less important. For the sake of a few dollars you could lose your boat or worse. Always go with the best for mooring chains, and good lines and you'll sleep at night when the wind blows. Your boat will be there in the morning.
