Titan 8-Plait Anchor Rode – 1/2" x 250' Nylon Line, 1/4" x 50' Chain, Shackle
The long-scope windlass rode in the Titan 1/2" 8-plait lineup. This assembly combines 250’ of 1/2" 8-plait nylon with a 50’ chain lead — giving you the scope to anchor safely in deeper water while keeping the overall weight lighter than the 5/8" series. The 8-plait construction lays flat and feeds smoothly through a windlass gypsy without kinking or hockling. Hand-spliced to Grade 43 high-test galvanized chain, with PVC depth markers pre-installed and a hot-dip galvanized anchor shackle included.

Compatible Applications
- Electric windlass systems on vessels in the 25–38’ range sized for 1/4" ISO calibrated chain
- Deep-water anchoring where 250’ of scope provides a safe 7:1 ratio in 35’+ of water
- Coastal and offshore cruising where extended scope is needed without the weight of a 5/8" rode
- Vessels upgrading from 3-strand to 8-plait for improved windlass feeding performance
Parts Desk Insights
This is the right rode when you need more scope than the standard 150’ configuration but want to stay in the lighter 1/2" diameter rather than stepping up to 5/8". The 250’ of line gives you a safe 7:1 scope ratio in up to 35’ of water, and the 50’ chain lead provides solid catenary effect and bottom protection across most anchoring conditions. The 8-plait braid is the key feature for windlass users — it feeds consistently through the gypsy and lays flat in the chain locker without the twisting that 3-strand can develop. If 150’ of scope is sufficient for your typical anchoring depth, the Titan 8-Plait 1/2" x 150’ with 50’ Chain (CAR8P12150H1450) is a lighter, less expensive option. If you need the breaking strength of a heavier diameter at this scope, see the Titan 8-Plait 5/8" x 250’ Rode (CAR8P58250H5150). For a 3-strand alternative with even more scope, see the Titan 3-Strand 5/8" x 300’ Rode (CAR3S58300H5115).
