Q.
Hi, will the 6mm chain function correctly with the Maxwell HRC6-FF windlass? Seems you don’t sell the 6mm version, only the 7mm which I’m guessing again is for US 1/4” chain likely called 7mm here?

Q.
How long should my 6mm galvanized anchor chain last before rust starts showing ? I have a 30' keel boat and the anchor gets used regularly while cruising in Feb and March, and sits in the anchor well the rest of the time,

Galv chain wear can vary greatly depending on usage and conditions. Generally a manufacturing fault will crop up very soon after initial use. Otherwise use of a winch gypsy and/or rocky mooring grounds can increase chain wear. If the chain is less than 2 years old please send us pictures to website@burnsco.co.nz and we will investigate further.
