Fender Chain
Anchor chain installation:
Installing an anchor chain on a vessel requires careful preparation and attention to safety. Here are the general steps to follow when installing an anchor chain:
Determine the chain size: The size of the anchor chain needed will depend on the size and weight of the vessel. It is important to select the appropriate size to ensure the chain can handle the loads that it will be subjected to.
Choose the anchor: The anchor should also be selected based on the vessel size and type, as well as the seabed conditions where the vessel will be anchoring.
Determine the anchor locker size: The anchor locker is the compartment where the anchor chain will be stored. The locker should be large enough to accommodate the length of chain needed, as well as the anchor and any other associated equipment.
Install the chain stopper: The chain stopper is a device used to hold the anchor chain in place when not in use. It should be installed securely to withstand the loads that the chain will be subjected to.
Install the anchor roller: The anchor roller is a device that helps guide the anchor chain into the locker. It should be installed securely and positioned correctly to prevent the chain from tangling or damaging the vessel.
Thread the anchor chain: Thread the anchor chain through the anchor roller and into the locker. Be sure to take care to prevent the chain from tangling or kinking during installation.
Connect the anchor: Once the chain is in place, connect the anchor to the chain using the appropriate connection method, such as shackles or swivels.
Store the anchor: The anchor should be stored securely in the locker to prevent it from shifting during travel.
It is important to ensure that the anchor chain is properly installed and secured before using it to anchor the vessel. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the anchor and chain, and inspect the equipment regularly for wear or damage.
