The sprocket is an essential component in the operation of your windlass and plays a very important role in the anchor lifting and lowering process. It is an integral part of the deck unit and enables the anchor chain to be lifted from your boat. The chain wraps around the sprocket, preventing tangles and knots .

The sprocket is compatible with all V8 windlass deck units that can accommodate 14mm diameter Studlink chain.

Mooring chains for boats are subject to standards which regulate their manufacture. There are several types of standards, such as ISO 4565 , which is a more general international standard, DIN 766 , a more specific German standard focusing on steel anchor chains, and the designation SHORT LINK , which is characteristic of short-link chains.

ISO 4565 chains have wider and longer links than DIN 766 or SHORT LINK chains, which implies differences in dimensions , weight and strength .

Here we have a sprocket that can accommodate a 14 mm Studlink chain. This is yet another standard for chains with special links featuring studs that improve anchor efficiency and stability . These chains are generally used on large vessels such as cargo ships , tankers or container ships .

To find out the exact dimensions of the chain your sprocket can support, please refer to the diagram in the photo and the corresponding letters in the legend.
