Chain Stopper - 8MM/5/16"

Lewmar Chain Stopper with Lever — 5/16" Chain (66840077)

A cast stainless chain stopper that takes the anchoring load off your windlass — the part that should actually be holding your boat at anchor, not the windlass gypsy.

Why It Matters
Windlasses aren't built to carry the sustained loads of riding at anchor — that job belongs to a chain stopper or a cleat. This stopper locks the chain in place so the windlass isn't bearing strain it wasn't designed for, protecting the gearbox and drive train from premature wear or failure. A safety release lever lets you free the chain for retrieval or deployment without working blind around a loaded link.

Use
Sized for 5/16" (8mm) chain. Lewmar's SWL for the 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16mm sizes in this stopper line exceeds the SWL of the chain itself, so the stopper isn't the weak link in the system — the chain will reach its limit first.
