What to Compare Before Buying
- Check that the 5/16-inch chain and 3/8-inch shackles fit the anchor and lead chain you plan to connect.
- Confirm the appropriate working-load rating for your setup. The listed 7,450 lb figure is a break load and should not be treated as a working-load rating.
- Verify that a 5-foot chain matches the length needed for your configuration.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The chain is described for connecting an anchor with an anchor lead chain. Confirm the dimensions and connection fit at both ends before selecting it. The description also refers to other chain sizes and lengths, so check that the selected configuration is the 5/16-inch, 5-foot version.
What Is Included
The stated contents are one 5-foot anchor chain and two 3/8-inch stainless steel bow shackles. The description does not specify other included components.
Before You Decide
Confirm the chain size, length and shackle fit for your anchor setup, and check the applicable working-load rating rather than relying on the break-load figure alone.
