This is Seachoice's white three-strand twisted nylon anchor line, 5/8-inch by 250 feet. It has an integrated tracer so you can keep an eye on wear over time. The line is meant to cushion sudden shock loads. A galvanized steel thimble is supplied for attaching the anchor. The manufacturer part number is 50-47931.
Our take
The built-in tracer on this 5/8 x 250 ft three-strand nylon line lets you check wear over time, and the galvanized steel thimble gives you a ready attachment point for the anchor. The line is meant to cushion sudden shock loads.
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.
