Galvanized or Stainless? A few points to consider:

Stainless chain offers an aesthetics benefit for those who prefer the continuous shine of stainless on the bow of their boat.

Stainless chain avoids the issues concerning galvanizing and wear. It also stows nicely, because unlike galvanized chain it does not 'cone' in the chain locker (simply because the links are smoother).

Our galvanized chain is high-test G4 short link. It is hot-dipped and with proper care, will provide years of use.

Eight-Plait or 3-Strand

Here's a quick video about the pros and cons of each!

If you have ANY questions at all about what size rode you need for your chainwheel, please ask prior to ordering! Custom anchor rodes CANNOT be returned for any reason except unusual wear & tear or defects. Please check sizing prior to ordering.

    New 8 plait anchor line

    Posted by Jeff on 18th Aug 2026

    My old 3 strand line was not feeding properly through my windless. I called for help and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They set me up with a new 5/8” 8 plait line and chain. It worked perfectly.. This is definitely a good company to deal with.

    Custom rode with chain

    Posted by Bruce on 13th May 2026

    Anna was great. She got the 200' of 5/8" 8 plait spliced to 50' of 5/16" chain made and shipped out promptly. The 8 plait rope is a huge improvement from the stiff and gnarly 3 strand I was using for my anchor. Highly recommend DarkHorse!

    8 plait anchor rode

    Posted by Ray Solga on 16th Mar 2026

    This anchor rode is soft and pliable and should store in my anchor locked much more efficient than my old 3 strand rode.
