Sea-Dog Marine anchor chains are specialized short lead chains (or tail chains) designed to be placed directly between your boat's anchor and the nylon anchor line. Adding a weighted chain like this keeps the anchor shank parallel to the seabed, maximizing holding power—especially for fluke and plow style anchors.
Types of Sea-Dog Anchor Chains
Sea-Dog manufactures these forged steel lead chains in two primary finishes:
- Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel: Standard heavy-duty zinc-coated finish that offers traditional marine corrosion resistance.
- White PVC Vinyl Coated: Features a thick PVC coating over hot-dipped galvanized steel. The vinyl layer adds extra corrosion resistance and prevents the chain from banging against or scratching your hull and deck.
