Windlasses are not designed to hold the high loads that can be transmitted through the chain when at anchor. The chain should be secured with a chain stopper or the rope secured to a cleat, bollard or some other load bearing point. Maxwell has created a new chain stopper who is height matched to our popular RC series range of windlasses.

Key Features:

• The height is matched to suit the chain level of the RC series, the windlass, which means no packers or plinths are necessary.
• Body and pin are made from 316 stainless steel and pawls made from high strength 2205 stainless steel.
• Takes weight off the windlass and prevents accidental ‘free fall’ of the anchor while under way.
• It has a safe working load greater than the chains it is designed to work with (DIN766, G30 & G43).
• High quality mirror polished finish.
• Pawls are shaped to match chains, preventing damage to the galvanising caused by traditionally shaped pawls.
