I believe G4 refers to a chain being high-tensile strength, not size.

The chain size you need will be dependant on the gypsy size on the windlass. You will need chain that is designed to go over the gypsy, the link size in some chain will not match the gypsy. The 3/8 measurement refers to the diameter of the rod used to make the link. There is some good information on anchor chain at the Rocna website www.rocna.com/kb/Chain. Hope this helps. |
