Length of anchor chain 40/40

Post by Riki »

Our chain is looking like it's nearing the end of its life. I was wondering how much chain others have on the 40/40? P.O. had put in 210' of (we're thinking) 5/16" chain plus a long length of rode.

Also, does anyone know of a regalvanizer for chain in the northeast i.e. New England...?

Thanks,
Riki

I am in Salem, MA. I looked into re-galvanizing about 5 years ago and got nowhere. I did speak with a guy who said they used to do it but because the cost had gotten so high people would just buy new chain instead. Which is what I did. Also heard of a red neck rust removal technique for rusty chain. Attach one end to your truck and go bombing around in a sand pit dragging it around. Might be fun to try but I never did...
