Winch handle & relieving tension on windlass

couple of questions I could use some help with:
1) I am looking for a winch handle for my Lewmar pro series 1000 windlass. The shape of the hole where the handle is inserted is square. does anyone have any suggestions?
2) I want to reduce the tension on the gypsy by reducing the weight from the anchor and chain but don't want to use a chain stopper. I have seen a cable and mounting bracket that can be used but I don't know the name of this mechanism. Can you get the pieces from a hardware store and make it yourself?
Thanks
