Kong Anchor Swivel SS316 Suits 6/7/8mm Chain

Meet the Kong Anchor Swivel SS316, purpose-built for 6/7/8 mm anchor chains. Crafted from marine-grade SS316 stainless steel, this swivel not only stands up to salt air and seawater but also features an intelligent auto-straightening action that helps the anchor align correctly as you pull it aboard, guiding it through the fairlead with minimal resistance.

Why this swivel makes a real difference on deck and at the bow:

• Automatic alignment: The swivel’s design lets the anchor straighten as it reloads, ensuring clean entry through the fairlead and reducing snags or kinks during retrieval.
• 6/7/8 mm chain compatibility: Precisely tuned to these chain sizes for a secure, reliable fit that won’t slip or bind.
• Durable, corrosion-resistant construction: SS316 stainless steel stands up to marine environments, protecting performance in saltwater and humid palettes of coastal sailing.
• Smooth ferrule interaction: Engineered to slide through the ferrule without damaging the sheave or chain, extending component life and easing maintenance.
• Robust strength with real-world limits: Weight 240 g; axial breaking strength 2500 kg; major-axis side-pull 850 kg; Safe Working Load (SWL) 850 kg — offering a solid margin for everyday anchoring needs.
• Straightforward sourcing: Shipped directly from our local New Zealand supplier for reliable delivery and support.
