The In-Between Diameter That Gets It Right
9/16" sits in a practical sweet spot between 1/2" and 5/8" — more load capacity and abrasion resistance than 1/2", without the added bulk and weight of a full 5/8" rode. This pre-assembled configuration pairs 150 feet of 9/16" three-strand nylon with 15 feet of 5/16" Grade 43 galvanized chain, making it one of the lighter options in the 9/16" lineup at approximately 13.4 kg.
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 9/16" x 150 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
- 9/16" x 150 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
- 9/16" three-strand nylon — more load capacity than 1/2", lighter and easier to handle than 5/8"
- 150 ft of line — adequate scope for anchoring in 21 ft of water at a 7:1 ratio
- 15 ft of 5/16" chain — lightweight configuration with enough catenary to help the anchor set in moderate conditions
- 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 well-suited choice for mid-size to larger vessels in the 30–42 ft range that want a step up from 1/2" line without committing to the full weight and diameter of 5/8". The 9/16" diameter is particularly popular on vessels where the windlass or bow roller is sized between the two standard diameters, or where the owner simply prefers a slightly heavier line for hand-anchoring. The 15 ft chain keeps the overall weight light — a good fit for sheltered anchorages with reliable holding ground. For more chain weight and improved holding in wind or current, the 9/16" x 200 ft rode with 15 ft chain adds scope, while the 9/16" x 250 ft rode with 20 ft chain and 9/16" x 250 ft rode with 50 ft chain offer heavier configurations for more demanding conditions. 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, an 8-plait rode is the more compatible choice.
