FAQ

What does the Galv collection at Steveston Marine include?
This collection includes galvanized rigging hardware, including anchor-rated shackles, chain links, and rope clips in a range of sizes.
What is an anchor-rated shackle used for?
An anchor-rated shackle connects anchor chain to rope rode or to the anchor itself, rated to handle the working loads involved in anchoring.
What is a galvanized link lap used for?
A galvanized link lap is a repair link used to join or extend sections of chain, such as anchor chain, without needing to replace the entire length.
Why choose galvanized hardware over stainless steel for anchoring?
Hot-dip galvanized steel hardware is often chosen for anchoring because it's typically stronger and more affordable than comparable stainless steel, though it requires different long-term corrosion care.
What size shackle do I need for my anchor chain?
Shackle size should match the anchor chain's diameter and working load; Steveston Marine stocks galvanized anchor-rated shackles from 1/4" up to 1".
