Stainless Steel Chain Stopper - 5/16" - 3/8"

Chain Stoppers help prevent damage to the windlass and reduce the risk of accidental free fall of the anchor while under way. Chain Stoppers mount alone or inside most bow rollers and work with your anchor roller to take tension off your windlass. Chain and rope should be secured at anchor when your windlass is not in use to avoid high loads the windlass was not designed for. 321820 fits chain sizes 3/16" - 1/4". 321825 fits chain sizes 5/16" - 3/8". Constructed of corrosion resistant formed 304 stainless steel.

The Sea-Dog Stainless Steel Chain Stopper (part number 321825-1) is a component designed to secure anchor chains and mitigate potential damage to a vessel's windlass system. This device is constructed from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel and is engineered to accommodate chain sizes ranging from 5/16" to 3/8". Its primary function is to relieve tension on the windlass when the anchor is deployed or secured, preventing the windlass from bearing loads it was not designed to withstand. Additionally, it helps to reduce the risk of an anchor accidentally deploying while the vessel is underway. The chain stopper can be mounted independently or integrated within existing bow rollers, working in conjunction with the anchor roller to manage chain tension. This product is suitable for marine operations requiring a robust solution for anchor chain management and windlass protection.
