- Designed for
- Chain, rope anchor rode or anchor snubber line
The Davis AnchorSnubber in the 20 in black version is a webbing snubber for anchoring. It connects straight to anchor chain, rope rode or a separate snubber line, using two 316 stainless captive key pin shackles. The maker points it at rough anchorages, adverse currents and strong winds, and says it removes the chain noise that keeps you awake. It is described as fitting most anchor chains.
Our take
Both ends carry 316 stainless captive key pin shackles, so it attaches straight to chain, rope rode or a snubber line without extra hardware. The maker also says it quiets chain noise at anchor.
From our buying guide
A snubber absorbs shock and prevents sudden jolts on a dock line. It doesn't replace the line: Davis says its Shockles must always be used in parallel with a strong rope or line.
Check before you buy:
- It's made for your line size, since some are sold by line size only, with no load or boat size.
- Your boat is within any limit the maker gives. Davis says up to 40 ft for its DockShockle, and Polyform up to 13,200 lb for its ST-1.
