It seems from other migrations of this thread that what's wanted in the
original wasn't a stopper...

We have two hawse pipes with all chain on the two primary anchors, a
vertical windlass for rope and chain, and no stoppers.

Our prior owners made up a short airline cable Y with thimbles and nicopress
(wish they'd shrink-wrapped them!!). Three caribiners connect to a pad eye
and the two anchor chains. Not a tensioner, but certainly insurance against
failure or moving out in lumpy water.

That's pretty inexpensive :{))
