What you should look out for when buying anchor winches
If you want to buy an anchor winch for your boat, there are some important factors that you should pay attention to. Below we have summarised some points that you should consider when choosing a windlass:
Size of the boat: Make sure you choose a windlass that is suitable for the size and weight of your boat. A windlass that is too small will not hold your anchor chain and a windlass that is too large will be unnecessary and expensive.
Anchor chain: Make sure that the windlass is suitable for the size of your anchor chain. A windlass that is too small will not be able to hold the chain, while a windlass that is too large will not be able to hold the chain tightly enough.
Power supply: Make sure the windlass is compatible with your boat's power supply. Most windlasses require 12 or 24 volt direct current, but there are also models that run on alternating current.
Installation: Make sure that the windlass is easy to install and maintain. A good windlass should come with clear instructions and all the necessary parts.
Quality: Invest in a high-quality windlass that is durable and reliable. Look for reputable brands such as Lewmar, Quick or Lofrans and read reviews from other customers.
Functions: Think about which functions you need. For example, do you want a remote control or an automatic anchor winch? Do you want a model with manual emergency operation or an electric windlass?
