Anchor chain claw

[coopec43]

The maker of my anchor winch (Muir) says I shouldn't use the winch as an "Anchor bollard". I presume I need an "anchor chain claw"(?) attached to the bollard. I'm wondering what everyone is using.

I like the Austlift G70 Hi Clevis style however my anchor chain is 10mm. Do they come in that size? I presume that claw could be attached to the bollard with a 10mm chain and "D" shackle?

And when I attach the anchor to the chain should I used a particular sort of "D" shackle - high tensile or maybe 316 SS? Should the pin be "tethered"?

Are there any other matters I should consider?


Standard bow shackle with safety bolt which enables all components to be tethered
