FAQs

What is the primary use for these mooring chains?

They are designed for mooring narrowboats and other vessels to canal pilings where traditional mooring posts may be absent. They can also supplement mooring lines on standard posts.

How do I attach the chain to a piling?

Wrap the chain around the piling, then thread the smaller ring through the larger ring to create a secure anchor point.

What material are the chains made from?

They are constructed from durable steel and have been galvanised for protection against rust and corrosion.

What are the dimensions of the chains and rings?

The overall length is 1.15M, chain length is 0.95M, large ring diameter is 90MM, small ring diameter is 65MM, ring thickness is 8MM, and chain thickness is 6MM.

Can these be used in saltwater?

While galvanized for protection, they are primarily intended for canal and river use. Rinsing with fresh water after any exposure to saltwater is recommended.

How many chains are included in a pack?

Each pack contains two mooring chains.

Will this work on any type of mooring post?

They are best suited for canal pilings with a bar or hole. They can be used with standard posts, but the securing method may vary.

Troubleshooting

Chain is difficult to thread through the rings.

Ensure both rings are properly aligned and that there are no obstructions or kinks in the chain.

Mooring feels insecure.

Verify that the chain is wrapped tightly around the piling/post and that the rings are securely interlocked. Check if the piling/post is stable.

Visible signs of rust or corrosion.

While galvanized, prolonged exposure may lead to minor surface rust. Clean with a wire brush and consider applying a suitable metal protectant if significant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure alternative to traditional mooring lines, reducing the risk of cuts.
  • Galvanised steel offers excellent rust and corrosion resistance.
  • Easy and quick to attach to canal pilings.
  • Can be used with standard mooring posts as a supplementary safety measure.
  • Durable construction ensures a long working life.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for canal pilings; may require additional securing methods for some standard posts.
  • The fixed length might not be suitable for all mooring scenarios.
  • Requires a piling or post with a bar/hole for the rings to pass through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable canal piling or mooring post.
  2. Wrap the chain around the base or bar of the piling/post.
  3. Thread the smaller ring through the larger ring to create a secure loop.
  4. Ensure the connection is taut and provides a firm mooring point for your vessel.

Compatibility:

These chains are designed for use with canal pilings that have a bar or hole through which the rings can be passed. They can also be used with standard mooring posts.

Care:

  • Rinse the chains with fresh water after use in saltwater or brackish environments.
  • Periodically inspect the chains and rings for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use to maximize lifespan.
