You get 3\/8 inch line, 150 feet of it, in white, with a stainless steel thimble already spliced into the eye. That's the working end done for you. Shackle it to your anchor or a length of chain and you're ready to drop the hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3\/8 inch diameter is the everyday size for small to mid-size boats. Think center consoles, bay boats, and runabouts up into the mid-20-foot range. The 815 pound working load limit covers normal anchoring loads for that kind of boat. It's not a mooring pennant for a 40-footer, and we won't pretend it is. For a weekend hook in a cove or a lunch stop off the sandbar, it's exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's why nylon matters for a rode. It stretches. When your bow rides up on a passing wake or a swell rolls through the anchorage, that stretch soaks up the shock instead of jerking the anchor loose or snatching your bow cleat. A stiff line doesn't forgive that motion. Nylon does. The twisted construction also lays out clean and feeds through a bow roller without fighting you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel thimble is the detail that earns its keep. It sits inside the spliced eye and takes the chafe where your line loops through a shackle or connects to chain. Without it, the rope wears against the metal every time the boat swings, and that's where a rode fails. Stainless holds up to salt water without rusting streaks down your line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to plan for is scope. 150 feet sounds like a lot until you do the math. A 7-to-1 ratio in 20 feet of water eats 140 feet fast once you count the height of your bow off the water. In shallow anchorages you'll have plenty. In deeper spots, keep that in mind. If you're not sure this is the right rode for your anchor and your boat, give us a shout. We anchor these boats too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch diameter twisted nylon, the everyday rode size for small to mid-size boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 foot length gives you working scope in most anchorages under 20 feet of water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e815 pound working load limit for normal anchoring on small to mid-size boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel thimble spliced into the eye resists chafe where the line meets your shackle or chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon stretches under load, cushioning the shock when your bow rides up on a wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite finish stays easy to see on deck and at the waterline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size boat is this anchor line good for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe 3\/8 inch by 150 foot size suits small to mid-size boats, commonly center consoles, bay boats, and runabouts up into the mid-20-foot range.
