PVC-Coated Anchor Lead Chain — White, 3/16 in. × 3 ft.
A compact lead chain built to improve anchor holding power while protecting your hull. Forged from hot-dip galvanized steel and finished with a white vinyl PVC coating, this 3-foot chain sits between your anchor and anchor line — adding weight to keep the anchor shank low and parallel to the seabed for a more secure set. The PVC coating guards against scratches and scuffs on gelcoat and painted surfaces wherever the chain contacts the hull, bow roller, or anchor locker.

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Best suited for small to mid-size recreational boats up to approximately 20 ft. using fluke-style anchors in calm to moderate conditions. Use as a lead chain between your anchor and rope rode to improve holding power and reduce line chafe on rocky or rough bottoms. The PVC coating makes it the right choice anywhere the chain may contact the hull or anchor locker surfaces.
Why Use a Lead Chain? A short length of chain between your anchor and rope line keeps the anchor shank low and parallel to the seabed, which dramatically improves holding power — especially with fluke-style anchors. It also protects the rope from abrasion on rough bottoms.
PVC vs. Bare Galvanized: The white PVC coating adds a layer of corrosion protection and prevents the chain from marring gelcoat or painted surfaces. In saltwater use, inspect the coating annually for cracks or peeling that could expose the steel underneath.
Pair With: Complete your anchoring setup with a Double-Braid Nylon Anchor Line, 3/8 in. × 100 ft. or a 3-Strand Twisted Nylon Anchor Line, 3/8 in. × 100 ft.
