How do I order the correct length?

You need to enter the desired length in metres into the quantity box during the checkout process. The chain will be cut to this specified length.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Dispatch can take 1-2 working days because the chain needs to be custom cut to your required length.

What is the finish of the chain?

The chain has a Hot Dipped Galvanised finish, which provides excellent protection against corrosion.

What are the dimensions of the links?

The key dimensions are: A: 9.5MM (Diameter), B: 32.6MM, C: 47MM, D: 12.8MM, E: 28MM.

Troubleshooting

Chain appears to be jamming in the windlass.

Verify that the chain is indeed calibrated and that your windlass is designed for 9.5mm chain. Ensure no debris is obstructing the windlass mechanism. Double-check that the correct length was ordered and that the chain links are not damaged or deformed.

Galvanised coating seems to be degrading rapidly.

Ensure the chain is regularly rinsed with fresh water after saltwater use. Inspect for any physical damage to the coating. If rapid degradation is observed, consult the manufacturer for potential product defects.

Chain is not the exact length ordered.

While every effort is made to cut accurately, slight variations may occur. If the discrepancy is significant and impacts usability, contact customer support with your order details.
