Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Stopper Height Matched for RC series windlasses (Vetus P104358) is designed for 8–10 mm (5/16"–3/8") anchor chain and is height matched to RC8 and RC10 windlasses. The stopper transfers anchoring loads away from the windlass, prevents accidental anchor free fall while underway, and requires no packers or plinths for installation. Constructed from stainless steel with a high-strength pawl and mirror-polished finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Stopper Height Matched for RC8 / RC10 Windlass (Vetus P104358)
The Vetus Maxwell height-matched anchor chain stopper (Vetus P104358) is specifically engineered for use with the RC series range of windlasses. Windlasses are not designed to hold the high loads transmitted through the chain when a vessel is at anchor; therefore, securing the chain with a chain stopper is essential. This model is height matched to the chain level of RC series windlasses, allowing direct installation without the need for packers or plinths.
By transferring the anchoring load away from the windlass, the stopper helps protect the windlass mechanism and prevents accidental anchor free fall while the vessel is underway. The pawl is shaped to match the chain profile, reducing potential damage to the chain galvanisation compared with traditionally shaped pawls.
Key Technical Features
- Height matched to suit the chain level of RC series windlasses.
- No packers or plinths required for installation.
- Takes weight off the windlass to reduce mechanical strain.
- Prevents accidental anchor free fall while underway.
- Pawl shaped to match the chain and protect galvanisation.
Materials & Construction
