I am having a difficult time locating a vendor who will re-galvanize my G4 anchor chain. Any suggestions?

Are these threads any help?

A tip of the hat to you coopec43 for an exceptional effort. Unfortunately, in recent years several of the possible firms mentioned no longer handle anchor chain. Of the few remaining, none are particularly close, though a firm in Tampa, FL, 165 miles away may be a possibility if they still do chain. I will call them tomorrow.
If all else fails, I might try to postpone regalvanizing until next spring when I will likely be up in the Chesapeake Bay area where there are a couple firms in the Baltimore area to contact.
I never thought this would be so difficult.
Thanks again.

Just my 0.02. We had ours done about 5 years ago. We just replaced it. Take the money you were going to spend to regalvanize, and put it towards a new chain. It took a year of use before the regalvanized chain would run well thru the gypsy, and it took a serious toll on our windlass - which we also replaced.

Some galvanizers know how to galvanize chain and have the correct equipment, others do not.

Ours was done perfectly and looked and behaved as new chain.
