Maxwell RC8 High Chain Stopper

Maxwell has a new chain stopper designed which perfectly fits our RC series range of windlasses, (suitable for 8 to 10 mm (5/16´´to 3/8´´) anchor chain).

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.


Features:

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