Spanish term or phrase: roscados a tope
Any idea what this is supposed to mean? This is from a general checklist of things that a boat owner has to do related to anchoring and mooring, i.e. not anchoring itself, just ensuring that the boat is "ship shape" and ready to do mooring and/or anchoring operations when the need arises.

Spanish (Spain) to UK English

Grilletes del fondeo are mooring/anchoring shackles.

Grilletes del fondeo roscados a tope

Here's the section
EQUIPO DE FONDEO Y AMARRE
