A boat anchor is an essential tool used for securing a vessel in place by gripping the seabed. It typically consists of a heavy metal object with protruding flukes or blades designed to dig into the seabed and provide reliable holding power. Boat anchors are crucial for various marine activities such as fishing, mooring, and docking, ensuring stability and safety for the boat while stationary. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different boat types and water conditions. Boat anchor kits often include additional accessories like ropes and shackles, providing everything needed for efficient anchoring. Additionally, river anchors are specifically designed for use in flowing water, offering enhanced stability and grip in river currents.

1-2 weeks delivery time Joining links are used to connect two lengths of chain with the same diameter without increasing thickness or causing blockages. They can be easily attached by aligning the rivets after setup, allowing for the connection of same-sized chains. However, it is important to note that these joining links should only be used for temporary chain connections, as their safe working load is lower than that of an equivalent chain link.
