Secure, Reliable Chain Resistant For Horizontal Windlasses

The Lewmar Chain Stopper Devil’s Claw (Horizontal) is engineered to provide a strong, dependable method of restraining your anchor chain during anchoring or while underway. Designed specifically for horizontal installations, it prevents shock loading on the windlass and protects your onboard anchoring system from unnecessary strain.

Heavy-Duty "Devil's Claw" Design 

Featuring a robust double‑jaw “devil’s claw” mechanism, this chain stopper locks onto the chain securely, reducing movement and eliminating the risk of accidental payout. Its stable horizontal configuration makes it ideal for vessels with windlasses or chain runs that sit parallel to the deck.

Protects Your Windlass & Anchoring System

It is an essential accessory for extending the lifespan of your anchoring equipment and ensuring safer, more controlled operation.

Built For Durability In Harsh Marine Conditions 

Constructed from high‑strength, corrosion‑resistant materials, the horizontal Devil’s Claw is designed to withstand heavy loads, constant vibration, and long‑term exposure to saltwater. It delivers reliable restraint in both cruising and offshore environments.

Ideal For Mid-Size To Large Vessels 

Perfect for yachts and powerboats that rely on a horizontal chain layout, this stopper enhances anchoring security and is compatible with a wide range of chain sizes.
