Harbor Freight sells a pack of tubing and one of them is quite big diameter, I just thought could you using a heat gun heat shrink that tubing on nylon rope without damaging the rope? One of them I think can pass over 3/4 inch nylon 3 strand rope.
Or alternatively, just slide it on and don't shrink it on.
I was thinking of a light chafe protection for the end of the anchor rode where it meets the anchor, before the eye splice. Of course I am just thinking and not sure it would pass the splice braid at the end. I have bought several packs of their heat shrink tubing and it good quality. I wonder how it would last exposed to the sun. If it is not durable in sunlight, I wont bother.
