Maxwell Anchor Swivel Shackle SS - 6-8mm - 750kg

The Maxwell Anchor Swivel Shackle SS is a stainless steel connector engineered to eliminate rode twist and simplify anchor retrieval on vessels of all sizes. Designed for anchors and rodes in the 6–8mm range with a 750kg working load limit, this swivel shackle serves both recreational and professional maritime operators who demand reliable deck hardware. By allowing the anchor line to rotate freely relative to the anchor itself, the shackle prevents the characteristic kinking and tangling that compromises both retrieval speed and chain locker organization.

Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, the Maxwell Anchor Swivel Shackle SS resists corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments while maintaining full structural integrity under load. The swivel mechanism operates on a sealed ball-race design, ensuring smooth rotation even after extended exposure to harsh conditions or sand accumulation. The 750kg working load rating accommodates standard rope and chain combinations for recreational cruising and light commercial applications, while the compact 3 x 2 x 7 inch footprint allows seamless integration into existing anchor systems without requiring deck modifications or specialized rigging.

This shackle pairs ideally with Maxwell's automatic rope and chain winch series, though it remains compatible with manual windlass setups and traditional anchor rode configurations. Installation requires no special tools—simply attach the shackle to your existing anchor and rode using the integral pin or through standard shackle loops. Operators managing multi-day passages, extended anchorages, or frequent repositioning benefit most from the time savings and reduced wear that the swivel mechanism provides. The 0.5 lb weight ensures minimal impact on vessel trim while delivering years of reliable service in commercial and private maritime operations.
