WEST MARINE–Rope/Chain Anchor Rode Packages for Windlasses

Product Overview

A rode package customized for the rope/chain gypsy on your windlass without the customized price.

Our Rope/Chain Anchor Rode Packages include Acco High-Test chain and West Marine's Premium Three-Strand Anchor Line, joined with a strong, low-profile rope-to-chain splice. Our tests show that a proper rope-to-chain splice retains about 95% of the strength of the unspliced line, so you can feel comfortable using a splice instead of a shackle, as long as you check the splice regularly for chafe.

Acco High-Test Chain

Made in the USA of high-carbon steel, this hot-dip galvanized high-test chain resists wear, making it a good choice for abrasive anchoring situations. With links slightly longer than BBB, it is the chain specified for use with many of the windlasses we sell.

West Marine Premium Three-Strand Anchor Line

Our anchor lines are made with high-quality premium nylon using a uniform construction process and a marine coating that creates an extremely abrasion-resistant, snag-resistant, long-lasting line.

Key Features

• Hot-dip galvanized high-test chain protects against corrosion
