- 2500 lb
A bungee-style anchor line from Seachoice, part number 50-40521, that stretches from 14 to 50 feet. It is a floating, heavy duty 16-strand rope with UV protection. The maker lists a tensile strength of 2500 lbs and says it meets WSIA/AWSA requirements. It is described for boat mooring and for drawing boats out from shore to safer water.
Our take
Stretching from 14 to 50 feet, this bungee line works over a range of lengths rather than one fixed length, and its 2500 lb tensile strength is the stated limit to measure against your boat. The 16-strand rope is made to float.
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.
