Next message: Ron Rogers: "Re: T&T: Anchor chain hammer links"
Yes. Get good ones like Crosbys. They are not as strong as the chain, but
they are adequate. That's the pro. The con is that there's no other good way
to join chain and have it run through your windlass. Be sure to peen the
un-headed rivets over with the proper sized ball peen. Paint fluorescent orange or
some such so you'll be reminded to inspect and replace as needed. No worries.

> anyone used the rivet type chain link to connect two pieces of chain
together for their anchor rode? What are the pros and cons of doing this?
The
West Marine catalog says it's as strong as the same size link in the chain.
