Designed to take the load off your windlass when the anchor is deployed and the boat is at anchor, it prevents the high static loads that windlasses aren't built to handle — and eliminates the risk of accidental anchor free-fall while underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits chain sizes 5\/16\" to 3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts alone or inside most bow rollers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks in conjunction with your existing anchor roller setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormed 304 stainless steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents accidental anchor free-fall while underway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects windlass from high static loads it wasn't designed to bear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts independently or inside most bow rollers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with your anchor roller to take tension off the windlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chain stopper is one of the most overlooked accessories in a windlass setup — and one of the most important. Windlasses are designed to raise and lower the anchor, not to hold the load of the boat riding at anchor for hours. Without a chain stopper, that sustained tension runs through the windlass motor and gypsy, accelerating wear and risking failure. This is a must-have addition for any boat with a windlass, and it's especially valuable on vessels that anchor frequently or in tidal areas with surge.
