Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Stopper Height Matched for RC series windlasses (Vetus P104359) is designed for 10–13 mm (3/8"–1/2") anchor chain and matched to the chain level of RC12 windlasses. The stopper transfers anchoring loads away from the windlass, prevents accidental anchor free fall while underway, and installs without the need for packers or plinths. Stainless steel construction with a high-strength pawl and mirror-polished finish ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable long-term operation.

Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Stopper Height Matched for RC12 Windlass (Vetus P104359)
The Vetus Maxwell height-matched anchor chain stopper (Vetus P104359) is engineered for use with RC series windlasses and is specifically matched to the chain level of the RC12 windlass. Windlasses are not designed to withstand the high static loads transmitted through the anchor chain when at anchor; therefore, securing the chain with a dedicated chain stopper is essential. This model eliminates the need for packers or plinths, allowing direct installation aligned with the windlass chain path.
By transferring the anchoring load away from the windlass, the stopper reduces mechanical strain and helps prevent accidental anchor free fall while the vessel is underway. The pawl is shaped to match the chain profile, reducing potential damage to the chain galvanising 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 load.
- Prevents accidental anchor free fall while underway.
- Pawl shaped to match the chain and protect galvanisation.
Materials & Construction
