^ A deck clearance increase will also increase the ‘D’ measurement by the same increment.
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.
