WOW! this is the cheapest I have seen yet for the 1/4 G4 Anchor chain. You have to e-mail these people to get a price quote but as you see here it is well worth the e-mail.

The second cheapest I found was $3.?? something a foot.

Additional comments, questions or order: Looking for price for 100' of 1/4 G4 Chain.

For example defender.com has it for $3.09 a foot and they were the cheapest I saw until these guys above.

question, I am guessing there is a specific coupler to connect two pieces of this chain together and still work on the windlass?

Hey E I just use a U shaped thingy with a screw in bolt that goes across the top. True "sailors" recommend you wire it so it can not accidentally come open and there goes your anchor.

Uhhh I don't know if this applies to your windlass type operation (I strong arm it myself) but you will save yourself some scratches in the ol gel-coat if you get rubber coated chain. You only need about 10'.
BUT your windlass might require non-coated chain or you maybe looking to go with all chain...I duuno. We don't have them fancy windlasses on pontoons. :)
Good luck.

Thanks, I plan to stick with all chain. Just was hoping to add to eat I have instead of having to buy that length too.
