This Seachoice anchor line is twisted three-strand nylon in white with a tracer built in. It is 5/8 in thick and 200 ft long. The maker says the three-strand construction adds durability and reliability, and the tracer is there so you can keep watch on wear over time. The nylon is meant to soak up sudden shock loads. A galvanized steel thimble comes with the line for attaching the anchor.
Our take
The tracer built into this 5/8 in x 200 ft three-strand line gives you a way to monitor wear over time, so you are not judging the rope by eye alone. The nylon is also meant to absorb sudden shock loads when the boat snubs on the anchor.
From our buying guide
The Coast Guard's general guidance is to let out five to seven times the depth of water plus the distance from the surface to the bow. Samson says nylon is used in anchor lines because its elasticity absorbs shock loads.
Check before you buy:
- The length gives you that scope in the water where you anchor.
- The chain included is what you want, since products include different lengths of chain: 4 ft in some and 15 ft in others.
- You can get at any rope-to-chain splice, which New England Ropes says to check regularly and remake at any evidence of wear.
