Stainless Steel Anchor Chain Swivel Connector (Anti-Twist Link 6-12 mm)

The anchor chain swivel is an essential accessory for any boat, significantly improving safety and convenience when anchoring. This stainless steel rotating connector directly links the anchor to the chain, allowing the anchor to self-align during retrieval and eliminating chain twisting. Crafted from solid AISI 316 stainless steel, the swivel withstands continuous load, impact, and saltwater exposure while maintaining its strength and smooth rotation over time.

Its smooth design with a swiveling ball-head ensures effortless movement and automatic alignment of the anchor on the bow roller as you haul it in. This prevents the chain from twisting and protects your windlass and deck gear from undue strain or potential damage. With this swivel, the anchor comes up easily without the need to manually untangle a twisted chain, and your windlass is safeguarded from shock loads and jamming.

Variants & Usage:

• 6-8 mm Chain Swivel: Suited for 6 to 8 mm chain, this size is ideal for small to mid-sized vessels (e.g. boats up to about 20-24 ft). It is recommended for anchors up to ~10 kg, providing a secure connection and smooth rotation for smaller boats, dinghies, and fishing craft.
• 10-12 mm Chain Swivel: Designed for heavier 10 to 12 mm chain, the larger model handles higher loads and is perfect for bigger yachts and workboats (around 24-40 ft or more). It easily manages heavier anchors (15-20+ kg) and ensures a reliable hold even in more challenging anchoring conditions.

Installation is straightforward – attach the swivel between the last link of your chain and the anchor using the provided pin or shackle. Recommendation: Rinse with fresh water after use to keep the swivel mechanism free of sand and salt, ensuring long-term smooth operation. With this stainless steel anchor swivel, your anchor will set and retrieve neatly without chain twist, making boat handling easier and extending the lifespan of your entire anchoring system.
