Re: Stus-List Anchor links.

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

For what it is worth, Practical Sailor has a low opinion of stainless steel
on your ground tackle; Particularly when mixed with the other metals.

Beware there are different ratings of shackles despite the same size.  As I
recall a class 'B' is a higher rating.  For a 3/8ths shackle the load
rating is 2 tons.  For a normal class 'A' the rating is 1 ton.

Re: Stus-List Anchor links.

[Joe Della Barba via CnC-List]

My chain is galvanized and so is the shackle and so is the anchor.

If the shackle rubs the zinc off the end link, I would just cut it off 
and use the next one.

Re: Stus-List Anchor links.

[Jim Watts via CnC-List]

For some reason, the first link connecting to the rope seems to get way
more corroded than any other part of the chain/rode assembly, possibly
because it is buried in the chain locker with a bunch of salty wet rope.
The swivel end was never a problem on my setup. Until the swivel itself
broke and dropped a nice 35-lb Delta to the bottom in 40 feet of water...
The best thing would be to see if there is an issue after a few months with
a galvanized shackle. At least that end is usually easy to keep track of,
especially if the anchor lives on a roller. Having that shackle on deck
also allows it to be rinsed with fresh water regularly.

Splicing the chain to the rode only fixes half the problem. What about the
other end that attaches to the stainless fitting at the anchor?

I have been doing that for years. I found the back splice easier to do than the 
splice where the anchor line continues along the chain weaving in and out, that 
one is a bit more effort.

If it is I can put a galvanized shackle, but where the chain attached too the 
anchor is a stainless mantus swivel, so the issue would be the same.
What do I do besides all stainless chain? If that is possible.
