Attwood Marine 137537 Galvanized Anchor Lead Chain with Shackles 1/4" x 4'

The Attwood 137537 galvanized anchor lead chain is designed for use with penetrating anchors like fluke, plow, and claw-style anchors. This 1/4-inch diameter, 4-foot chain attaches between your anchor and rode to hold down the anchor shank and keep the anchor lying flat on the bottom for maximum holding power.

Key Features:

• 1/4-inch diameter galvanized steel chain, 4 feet in length
• Includes shackles on both ends for easy attachment
• Holds anchor shank down to maintain proper anchor angle
• Increases holding strength in strong currents, high winds, and coastal waters
• Protects anchor rode from chafing on sharp rocks and debris
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments

Adding a lead chain to your anchoring system helps ensure your anchor sets properly and stays set, even in challenging conditions. The weight of the chain creates a horizontal pull on the anchor, preventing the rode from lifting the shank and breaking the anchor free from the bottom.
