Anchor Rode 25' - 8mm Chain - 300' - 9/16' Rope An anchor-rode is the connection system between the anchor and the boat and its sturdiness during mooring is undoubtedly essential. The critical point is the splice where the rope and chain are connected. Quick has developed a slim splice system that is much slimmer and more tapered, preventing jamming which often occurs during the transition from rope to chain during anchoring. Quick Slim Splice consists of a calibrated chain and a top-quality 3-strand polyester rope, to guarantee optimum strength and life.
