Both windlasses also have Paws which can take the strain at anchor along with the bridle.

If you look at the second photo you can see the chain marks on the back of the stopper. When the chain is paid out the stopper bounces off the links and shuts itself.

Should these be removed and stored until required during chain retrieval only?
