More Scope, Less Weight — 5/8" Three-Strand for Deeper Anchorages
When you need extra reach without the bulk of a long chain section, this rode strikes the right balance. The 200 ft of 5/8" three-strand nylon gives you the scope to anchor comfortably in deeper water, while the 15 ft of 5/16" chain keeps overall weight manageable — roughly 12 kg lighter than the 50 ft chain configuration.
Three-strand twisted nylon’s natural elasticity absorbs shock loads at the anchor, making it a forgiving choice in choppy or wind-affected anchorages. The 5/8" x 200 ft line is hand-spliced to a 5/16" x 15 ft Grade 43 high-test ISO-calibrated hot-dip galvanized windlass chain, with a Type IV Grade A hot-dip galvanized anchor shackle pre-installed at the chain end. Reinforced PVC depth markers are pre-installed on the line for at-a-glance scope management.
What’s Included
- 5/8" x 200 ft three-strand twill-twisted nylon rope — hand-spliced, heat-sealed bitter end
- 5/16" x 15 ft Grade 43 high-test ISO-calibrated hot-dip galvanized windlass chain
- Type IV Grade A hot-dip galvanized anchor shackle (pre-installed)
- Reinforced PVC depth markers (pre-installed)
Key Features
- 5/8" three-strand nylon — higher load capacity than 1/2", natural elasticity absorbs shock loads
- 200 ft of line — adequate scope for anchoring in 28 ft of water at a 7:1 ratio
- 15 ft of 5/16" chain — lighter overall weight while still providing catenary to help the anchor set
- 5/16" chain provides good abrasion resistance on rocky or rough bottoms
- Grade 43 high-test chain — ISO calibrated for windlass compatibility
- Hot-dip galvanized chain and shackle for long-term corrosion resistance
- Hand-spliced rope-to-chain connection for maximum strength at the join
- Pre-installed depth markers for at-a-glance scope management
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This rode is a strong choice for larger vessels in the 35–50 ft range that anchor in deeper water and want the extra scope of 200 ft without the weight penalty of a long chain section. The 15 ft chain provides enough catenary to help the anchor lie flat in moderate conditions, while keeping the total rode weight around 18.8 kg — significantly lighter than the 5/8" x 150 ft rode with 50 ft chain at ~30.6 kg. A good fit for sheltered to moderate anchorages where holding ground is reliable and the extra scope matters more than maximum chain weight. As with all three-strand rodes, note that this line can twist and hockle in electric windlass applications — if your vessel has a powered windlass, the 8-plait 5/8" x 250 ft rode with 50 ft chain is the more compatible choice for similar scope. For more chain weight in the same diameter, the 5/8" x 150 ft three-strand rode with 50 ft chain is the heavier alternative. For even more scope in three-strand, the 5/8" x 300 ft three-strand rode with 15 ft chain extends your reach further.
