The product, in the report: Seachoice Products Model 44101 anchor lead chain. This is 3/16” galvanized chain with two 1/4” galvanized shackles.
I purchased a Seachoice Products Anchor Lead Chain, model 44101. This is a 48” x 3/16” galvanized chain with two 1/4” galvanized shackles. Both shackles are defective, and of such a defective level of quality that I now suspect whether the chain is any good at all. In any case, I would not trust my life or the life of my family to such shoddy products.
Here’s the problem: the “pin”, which is much like a bolt, is threaded on one end. It goes through one “lug” of the horseshoe shaped shackle, and should engage the threads of the other “lug” of the shackle, where it can be tightened securely. On these shackles, the machining is so poor that the pins merely spin in the threaded lug and do not engage. These shackles are fit for decoration only-but only if one were to “glue” the pin in place.
This is a MAJOR safety issue, as the intended use of the shackle is to connect an anchor line (usually nylon) to an anchor. The anchor is one of the primary safety devices on board any vessel.
PLEASE LET THE PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT THIS JUNK.
Thanks.
