Understanding Windlasses: Your Key to Effortless Anchoring

A windlass, also known as an anchor winch, is a mechanical device mounted on the foredeck of your boat. It allows you to control your anchor chain or rode during raising and lowering your anchor.

Choosing the Right Windlass

Fisheries Supply offers a wide variety of windlasses to suit any boat size and type:

• Windlass Types: We carry both vertical windlasses and horizontal windlasses (also called capstans).
• Power Options: Select from manual windlasses, electric windlasses, or hydraulic windlasses based on your specific needs.

Additional Factors to Consider

Here are some key considerations when choosing a windlass anchor system:

• Boat Size and Weight: The windlass capacity should be at least three times the combined weight of your anchor and anchor rode.
• Durability and Reliability: Marine-grade windlasses should be built to withstand harsh conditions and a lot of use.
