Reliable anchoring isn’t just about power — it’s about how smoothly your rode feeds through the system. The OSP Kit Rope/Chain Stripper HC3 is a purpose-built guide designed to improve the flow of rope and chain as it transitions from the gypsy wheel into the chain locker on HC3 windlass systems.
This essential component helps prevent common anchoring frustrations such as snags, overlapping chain, twisting of the rode, and uneven piling in the locker. By maintaining proper alignment, it reduces stress on the windlass, extends the life of your rope and chain, and supports smoother, more predictable anchoring operations.
How It Enhances Your Anchoring System
• Smooth rode feed: Guides the rope and chain cleanly into the locker
• Reduces snags & tangles: Helps eliminate twists and uneven stowage
• Protects components: Minimizes wear on the rode and windlass parts
• Improves reliability: Supports consistent deployment and retrieval
Built for Marine Conditions
