An electric boat windlass is a mechanized anchor-handling device that uses electric power to raise and lower a boat's anchor via a winch system. It dramatically reduces the physical strain of anchoring, especially for larger vessels or deeper waters.

Key components of electric boat windlass:

Gypsy (chainwheel): grips the anchor chain or rope, specific to the chain size/type

Motor: electric motor (DC, typically 12V or 24V) that powers the windlass

Drum (capstan): optional horizontal drum for rope retrieval or warping

Control panel: switches (deck foot switches, helm remote, or wireless remote)

Solenoid & circuit breaker: electrical control and safety

We can also provide customized electric boat windlass according to your demands.
