Just bought new anchor rode of Yale 8-plait nylon Brait & need to
splice it to 5/16 chain for a Maxwell Freedom 800 windlass.

Not necessarily the best choice for anchor rode in my opinion. It's
much more expensive than 3 ply nylon, has less stretch (which is
desirable for its shock absorbing qualities), and is very difficult to
splice with chain, if at all. Maybe you could return it?

I don't see how you could splice braided rope to a chain except with an
eye splice, which won't go through the windlass. Three-strand nylon is
definitely the way to go.
