Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Stopper Tensioner (Vetus P106401) is designed for 8 mm (5/16") anchor chain and is height matched to RC8 and RC10 windlasses. The unit combines chain stopping and tensioning functions to transfer anchoring loads away from the windlass, maintain controlled chain alignment, and prevent accidental anchor free fall while underway. Height-matched geometry allows installation without additional packers or plinths.

Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Stopper Tensioner Height Matched for RC8 / RC10 Windlass (Vetus P106401)
The Vetus Maxwell anchor chain stopper tensioner (Vetus P106401) is engineered for anchoring systems using 8 mm (5/16") chain and RC series windlasses. Windlasses are not designed to sustain the high static and dynamic loads transmitted through the anchor chain when a vessel is at anchor. This unit is intended to secure the chain and transfer load away from the windlass while maintaining controlled chain guidance.
As a combined stopper and tensioner, the device supports secure chain holding and controlled chain alignment at the deck level. The height-matched design corresponds to the chain path of RC8 and RC10 windlasses, allowing installation without the need for packers or plinths and ensuring correct chain geometry between the bow and windlass.
