Browse the "Additional Hardware Accessories" for items such as snubbers - (see the left hand menu).

Important: Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper or alternative snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while laying at anchor. the chain stopper and alternative snubbing system should also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.

Tips and Advice:

WHAT WINCH PULL CAPABILITY WILL I NEED?
The only meaningful way to rate anchor winch performance is by looking at what it will lift and at what speed.
The two things to consider are (a) the maximum pull capability and (b) the working load of the winch.
Maximum pull (sometimes referred to as stall load) is the maximum short term or instantaneous pull of the winch.
Working load is generally rated at about one third of the maximum pull and is usually considered to be the load that the winch is pulling once the anchor is off the bottom.
To determine your required maximum pull capability, complete the calculation below.
