Ok, all's well that ends well, eh guys, and we'll all sleep easier knowing Benn is sleeping tight swinging on the best anchor, and connections in the business.
I think by now Bruce will be very clear exactly what to do as well, right Bruce..?
Oh yes, one last thing...there is no issue mixing stainless shackles swivels and chain. They are not immersed in an anchoring situation long enough for galvanic corrosion to exert any real influence. I've certainly not noticed it after 10 years, and my swivel has always attached to a galvanised secondary shackle, even tho the main one through the anchor slot is stainless as recommended. Actually, Rex of Sarca did tell me last time we had a chat, that for anchor sizes above about Sarca number 7, a galvanised shackle through the slot is ok, for what it's worth.
