Lewmar Pro-Fish Stopper Kit Product Description
Keep your anchoring system running smoothly even in the toughest offshore conditions with the Lewmar Pro-Fish Stopper Kit. Designed specifically as a direct replacement for the Pro-Fish series windlasses, this kit restores the precise gripping action that secures your anchor rode—whether chain, rope, or a hybrid—preventing slippage during heavy pulls or when you're fighting a big catch.
Fishermen and serious boaters know that worn stoppers can lead to frustrating chain jumps or unreliable holds, especially after seasons of saltwater exposure and constant use. This kit tackles those issues head-on, bringing back factory-fresh performance without the need for a full windlass overhaul.
Why Choose the Pro-Fish Stopper Kit?
- Durable Construction: Built from corrosion-resistant materials engineered for marine environments, it stands up to UV rays, saltwater corrosion, and abrasive chain wear.
- Easy Installation: Matches original specs for a plug-and-play fit, minimizing downtime on the water. No special tools required beyond basics like a screwdriver and wrench.
- Enhanced Safety: Ensures your anchor sets firmly on the first drop, reducing drift risks in currents or wind—critical for overnight anchoring or trolling setups.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Extends the lifespan of your Pro-Fish windlass by replacing high-wear components, avoiding bigger repairs down the line.
- Precision Engineering: Lewmar's attention to detail means the stopper engages smoothly, handling loads up to the windlass's rated capacity without binding or premature wear.
Perfect Fit for Pro-Fish Windlasses
This stopper kit is tailored exclusively for the Pro-Fish lineup, covering models used on everything from center-console fishing boats to rugged offshore vessels. It integrates seamlessly with the windlass's gypsy and clutch system, maintaining the self-righting chain management that Pro-Fish owners rely on.
Before installing, inspect your windlass for compatible mounting points—standard across the series. A quick clean of the housing ensures optimal seating. Regular checks every season can spot when replacement is due, keeping your setup reliable.
Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Performance
To maximize the kit's effectiveness:
- Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing to flush away salt buildup.
- Avoid overloading beyond your windlass's specs; pair with proper chain size for best results.
- During off-season storage, apply a light marine grease to moving parts for smooth operation come spring.
- Monitor for signs of wear like inconsistent gripping or unusual noise, and swap in a fresh kit proactively.
Boat owners report this simple upgrade transforms finicky windlasses back into dependable workhorses, saving hours of frustration during dawn patrols or deep-water drifts.
