Lewmar HM30H200PX Anchor Rode 200' 5/8 8 Plait 30' 5/16" G4

The Lewmar HM30H200PX Anchor Rode is a premium 200-foot anchor rode system designed for serious cruisers and offshore boaters who demand reliability in variable holding conditions. Built with a hybrid configuration that pairs chain and rope, this anchor rode delivers the holding power of chain combined with the weight-distribution and rode management benefits of rope. Whether you're anchoring in rocky bottoms, sandy flats, or mixed seabeds, this system provides the versatility and confidence needed for extended anchorages in unpredictable waters.

The rode features 30 feet of 5/16-inch galvanized G4 chain at the anchor end, providing superior abrasion resistance and cutting power through rocky bottoms while minimizing damage from sharp shells and reef structures. The remaining 170 feet consists of 5/8-inch 8-plait nylon rope, engineered to absorb shock loads and reduce strain on your windlass and bow fitting during heavy weather or sudden tide changes. The 8-plait construction offers balanced load distribution, excellent handling characteristics, and proven durability across thousands of hours of service. At 50 pounds total weight, this rode is manageable for deck handling while maintaining the mass needed for proper scope deployment and catenary formation.

This Lewmar anchor rode is ideal for vessels in the 30- to 50-foot range or any boat with adequate windlass capacity and deck storage. The 200-foot length accommodates typical cruising grounds from 30 to 60 feet of water when using proper 7:1 scope ratios. Installation is straightforward—connect the chain end directly to your anchor shackle, attach the rope end to your windlass with a professional splice or shackle, and secure to your bow bits. Regular inspection of the nylon for UV damage and the chain for corrosion ensures years of reliable service in salt and freshwater environments alike.
