A windlass is the kind of marine equipment that is specially developed to help you with the most difficult anchoring tasks. It can be a vertical or horizontal windlass that is either hand-driven or electrically powered. Depending on the type of windlass, it can work with a rope or chain, both of which are very durable. No matter what you need, we have it in a variety of models and sizes on our website. To complete your windlass setup, we also provide an array of accessories and hardware, including, but not limited to, chain counters, wireless remote controls, switches, clamps, and wiring.
