Maxwell Height Matched Chain Stopper for RC8 - 8 and 10mm Chain

Maxwell has designed a new height-matched chain stopper that is perfectly suited for use with the RC series range of windlasses.
This innovative design ensures that no additional packers or plinths are required for installation, making it easy to use and install.
The stopper is compatible with 8mm and 10mm anchor chains, providing an efficient and reliable solution for securing your chain.

This chain stopper is made from high-quality materials, ensuring its durability and strength. The body and pin are crafted from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, while the pawl is made from high-strength 2205 stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to wear and tear.
The pawl is specially shaped to match the chain, preventing damage to the galvanising, which can be caused by traditionally shaped pawls.

Key Features:

• Height matched to suit the chain level of RC series windlasses, eliminating the need for packers or plinths.
• Constructed from 316 stainless steel for the body and pin, with a high-strength 2205 stainless steel pawl for added durability.
• Prevents accidental 'free fall' of the anchor while underway, providing additional safety.
• Safe working load exceeds the rated strength of the chains it is designed to work with (DIN766, G30, and G43).
• Mirror polished finish for an attractive and high-quality appearance.
• Pawl shape is designed to match the chain, reducing damage to the galvanisation of the anchor chain.

Using a chain stopper is essential for protecting the windlass from high loads, which can be transmitted through the chain when at anchor. This product ensures that the chain is securely held in place, preventing unnecessary strain on the windlass.
For optimal safety, the chain should always be secured with a chain stopper or the rope should be tied to a cleat, bollard, or another suitable load-bearing point.
