2008-7-21 2002-9-10 When it comes to security and comfort, nothing beats an all chain anchor rode. Anchors set faster, deeper and the chain's weight acts as a shock absorber should the wind decide to gust through the anchorage. The trade off comes in the form of noise and stress that the windlass suffers from the forces that are exerted when the boat moves with the waves. In order to protect your windlass, the use of a snubber is highly recommended. The elasticity of the snubber's rope relieves the tension by allowing the pulling forces of your anchor to be diminished and then be directed to a large cleat or Samson post rather than your windlass' gears and shafts. 419504 text/html 1.0 EN index,follow chain claws snubbers mooring equipment anchor buoys chain claws snubbers rope cutters boating sailing accessories dental emergency kits first aid kit for teeth marine safety equipment stainless steel anchors propeller protectors man overboard mooring equipment anchor buoys plow anchors folding propellers stainless steel propellers ball joint swivel docking accessories marine barbecues Best Marine Imports - Chain Claws - Snubbers - Mooring Equipment - Anchor Buoys - Rope Cutters text EZ-NetTools EZ-NetTools specializes in providing professional custom web site design and ecommerce services that you can easily maintain.
