Lewmar Anchor Rode 15’ 5/16” G4 Chain w/150’ 9/16” Rope

Setting sail with confidence starts with a reliable anchoring system, and the right anchor rode makes all the difference on the water. This combination of robust chain and resilient nylon rope delivers the holding power you need for secure stops in harbors, bays, or open anchorages. Sailors and powerboaters alike appreciate how this setup balances strength, flexibility, and ease of handling, ensuring your boat stays put even when winds pick up or currents shift.

Built for Real-World Boating Demands

Every link and strand is engineered to handle the rigors of marine environments. The galvanized chain resists rust in saltwater exposure, while the twisted nylon provides that essential stretch to absorb shocks from waves and boat movement. This isn't just a line—it's a system designed to keep you safe and stress-free during overnight anchorages or quick lunch hooks.

Chain Excellence

• Precisely calibrated links ensure consistent performance and smooth feeding through your windlass.
• High-test rating means superior breaking strength compared to standard chains, ideal for boats up to 40 feet.
• Hot-dip galvanization creates a tough barrier against corrosion, extending the life of your investment.

Rope Reliability

• Three-strand twisted nylon offers natural flexibility and UV resistance for long-lasting use.
• Windlass-grade construction prevents fraying and ensures reliable gypsy engagement.
• The generous length gives you scope options for various depths and bottom types, from mud to sand.

Smooth Operation with Your Windlass

One of the biggest frustrations with anchoring is a rode that binds or jumps in the windlass. Here, the rope-to-chain splice is meticulously crafted for a flawless transition, letting your windlass retrieve and deploy effortlessly. No more manual adjustments or halfway hauls— just reliable, one-pull performance every time.

Seamless Fit for Popular Windlasses

This rode pairs perfectly with a range of trusted windlass models, making upgrades straightforward. Whether you're running a compact unit on a daysailer or a heavier-duty setup on a cruiser, the gypsy compatibility means plug-and-play reliability. It's a smart choice for maintaining the efficiency of your existing deck gear.

Pro Tips for Installation and Maintenance

Getting the most out of your anchor rode starts with proper setup. Begin by marking your rode at intervals—like every 30 feet—for quick depth checks. When deploying, aim for a 7:1 scope in calm conditions, adjusting up in wind. For storage, rinse with fresh water after every saltwater use to flush out salt crystals, and inspect the chain for wear annually. A quick dip in chain cleaner keeps it gleaming and functional. Over time, rotate the rope ends to even out wear, and replace when stretch exceeds 15% of original length.
