Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Snubber Kits
The Vetus Maxwell Anchor Chain Snubber range is designed to relieve anchoring loads from the windlass by transferring them to a dedicated nylon snubber line. This helps protect the windlass, reduces shock loads caused by waves, and secures the anchor chain while the vessel is at anchor.
The product range includes snubber hooks for multiple chain sizes as well as complete snubber assemblies supplied with premium 8-braid nylon rope. Each kit creates a secure connection between the anchor chain and the mooring line, improving anchor holding performance and reducing noise and movement.
