Heavier-Duty Grade 30 Anchor Lead Chain for Mid-Size to Larger Vessels — Black
When your boat or anchoring conditions call for more chain weight and length, this 5/16 in. x 5 ft. Grade 30 lead chain is the step up from the 1/4 in. x 4 ft. version. The additional diameter and length add meaningful weight at the anchor end, keeping the pull angle low and horizontal for maximum holding power — especially important in stronger currents, wind, or exposed anchorages. The black corrosion-resistant coating stands up to saltwater and UV exposure season after season, and the over-sized end links make shackle attachment fast and secure.
Five feet of lead chain gives you a practical working length for mid-size boats and heavier anchors, providing enough catenary weight to keep the rode working correctly without being unwieldy to handle.
Key Features
- 5/16 in. diameter × 5 ft. length — heavier and longer than the 1/4 in. x 4 ft. version
- Grade 30 chain construction
- Black corrosion-resistant coating
- Over-sized end links for easy shackle attachment
- Adds catenary weight to lower the pull angle and improve holding power
- SKU: 238-2116B | UPC: 025552211612
Best Use Case
Best suited for mid-size powerboats and sailboats in the 20–30 ft. range using medium to heavy anchors in moderate to exposed conditions. The 5/16 in. diameter pairs well with anchors in the 15–35 lb. range and is a natural match for a 1/2 in. or 5/8 in. nylon anchor line. Particularly effective when anchoring in areas with strong tidal current or overnight stays where reliable holding is critical.
Parts Desk Insights
Customers stepping up from the 1/4 in. x 4 ft. Black chain are typically moving to a larger boat or anchoring in more demanding conditions. Pair with a compatible shackle — the TITAN 7/16 in. Galvanized Anchor Shackle is a well-matched option for 5/16 in. chain. For a complete rode, add a nylon anchor line such as the Seachoice 5/8 in. x 200 ft. 3-Strand Anchor Line or the 250 ft. version for deeper anchorages. If colour-coding is preferred, this chain is also available in Red and Royal Blue.
