anchor chain

Sailorman is less than Defender, FYI on ACCO 5/16 HT ($3.95 vs 4.09) on 3/8 BBB they are $4.80 but local vs $4.69. Is Port Supply cheaper than Defender? This is one of those rare categories where BoatFix just isn''t participating price-wise. I haven't got a quote lately from Miami Cordage, but they were the sharpest last time I shopped a few years ago.
 
I quite often find Port Supply to be about the same as Defender, less shipping of course. But, plus tax.
 
So far Miami Cordage sounds like they are going to be the lowest as long as they have the right one in stock. Marine LIq in Fort Pierce are pretty sharp too.

Try Wholesale Marine, best price I have found for 1/4" BBB windlass chain ($190 for 150' hot dipped). Only reason why I haven't purchased as I am not sure it is compatible with an Ideal Windlass. The brand is Anchorlift vs. Acco (which defender sells $319 for 100' hot dipped).

Any one know if Anchorlift chain will work with an Ideal Windlass?

The brand of chain is not important. Look for markings on your gypsy or windlass, check the documentation, or contact the manufacturer for the type and size of chain to be used. For example, my Lewmar windlass calls fo 5/16" G4 chain. Anything else is probably not going to work and will wear the gypsy.
 
It's just stamped with 1/4 BBB. Called Ideal today and they say Acco is what it was made for.
 
Acco vs Anchorlift shouldn't matter
1/4 BBB is the size and type
