Sea-Dog Line Anchor Chocks/Brackets
Sea-Dog Line Anchor Chocks & Brackets: Deck Protection You Can Count On
When you're running through open water or riding out a chop, the last thing you want is an unsecured anchor sliding across your deck. Anchor chocks and brackets exist precisely to solve that problem — and few names in the marine hardware world bring more credibility to that solution than Sea-Dog Line. With roots stretching back to the early 1900s and over a century of continuous marine hardware manufacturing, Sea-Dog has earned its reputation one fitting at a time.
Built for the Harshest Marine Conditions
Sea-Dog Line's anchor chock is constructed from investment cast 316 stainless steel — a material specification that matters enormously in a saltwater environment. Grade 316 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304-grade alloys, making it the material of choice for components that live on exposed decks and bow rails. The investment casting process (also known as lost-wax casting) produces tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother surfaces than stamped alternatives, resulting in a fitting that looks as refined as it performs.
Designed for Conventional Fluke Anchors
Anchor chocks help protect the surface of your deck in rough seas or while the boat is underway, and Sea-Dog's design secures the anchor when not in use while still maintaining easy access. The chock is engineered for use with conventional fluke anchors from 5–20 lbs., accommodating up to a 9/16" maximum shank thickness. This makes it a natural pairing for popular Danforth-style anchors found on runabouts, center consoles, and day cruisers.
Deck mounting is accomplished with ten #10 FH fasteners (not included) , giving installers flexibility to choose fastener material appropriate for their hull construction. Note that the chock is designed for mounting on a horizontal surface — ideal for bow decks and anchor platforms where anchors are typically stowed flat.
A Legacy Brand with Modern Standards
Named after the vessel the company's founder used to sell his wares, Sea-Dog Line has grown over more than 80 years into a premier provider of marine, industrial chain, and rigging hardware across a variety of materials including bronze, galvanized, and stainless steel. Now based in Everett, Washington, the Sea-Dog Corporation continues its rapid expansion, offering shipbuilding companies and retailers an ever-growing assortment of high-quality marine gear.
Sea-Dog also maintains an ABYC-certified marine technician on staff to support technical and installation questions — a reassuring resource for boaters who want to install hardware correctly the first time. Sea-Dog stocks more than 8 million parts in their 75,000 square foot warehouse in Washington state , which speaks to both the depth of their catalog and their ability to keep critical hardware in stock.
