A fairlead includes a chain guide support structure and a clump weight engagement member. A clump weight assembly includes a clump weight body, a clump weight coupled to the clump weight body, and a spring housing. The spring housing includes an upper housing wall and at least one spring operatively coupled between the upper housing wall and the clump weight. The clump weight body may be selectively engageable and disengageable with the fairlead to form a fairlead and clump weight assembly. A method of installing and using the clump weight includes engaging the spring housing with the clump weight engagement member, and latching the clump weight body to the clump weight engagement member.
