## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this g40 or bbb chain?**
A: This 5/16" Chain is Medium Link, suitable for an anchor rode setup, but it is not designed for a windlass. G4 and DIN766 are two common specs for windlass chains and it is important to check with your windlass manual to know which chains any particular windlass requires to run smoothly.

**Q: My pin dropped in the lake.   (I know). How can I order a replacement 3/8” shackle?**
A: Replacement bow shackles can be found under this Amazon code 
B01L28NDA2

**Q: I just ordered 5/16" and realized I need 3/8". Can you please change order before it ships wrong product?**
A: It’s stainless steel. It should be fine

**Q: What is the diameter of the shackle's eye?  Will it fit around a 1" eye bolt?**
A: We have two basic types of bow shackle, one is called US and one is called European. The European has the same size diameter of the pin as the diameter of the bow, and the US style has an oversized pin, usually two sizes (in sixteenths) larger than the diameter of the bow, for example a 3/8" bow would have a larger pin (7/16" or 1/2" depending on the manufacturer). So with that explained you are after a European Bow that has a 1 3/8" inside diameter to the bow (for the US style the ID is 1"). We usually supply the European style bow unless requested otherwise, so that European bow has ample room for a 1" diameter bolt. To be sure you get the right shackle, please order as fullfilled by seller rather than fulfilled by Amazon and we will ensure you get the European Bow in your order. Hope this helps. Regards.Roxy
