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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged steel, hot-dip galvanized construction — corrosion-resistant for freshwater and saltwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite vinyl PVC coating — protects boat surfaces from chain contact damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOversized welded end links — designed for easy shackle attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds weight at the anchor point to improve holding angle and set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16 in.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Use a Lead Chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePVC vs. Bare Galvanized:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complete your anchoring setup with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/double-braid-nylon-anchor-line-gold-white-3-8-in-x-100-ft\"\u003eDouble-Braid Nylon Anchor Line, 3\/8 in. × 100 ft.\u003c\/a\u003e or a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/3-strand-twisted-nylon-anchor-line-white-3-8-in-x-100-ft\"\u003e3-Strand Twisted Nylon Anchor Line, 3\/8 in. × 100 ft.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51210834935844,"sku":"354-312933","price":43.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/354-312933.jpg?v=1786149396","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/pvc-coated-anchor-lead-chain-white-3-16-in-x-3-ft","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
