EXCLUSIONS:
Natural wear and tear to the windlass models and windlass accessories is not coverd by Anchorlif'ts 5-Year Warranty. This Warranty does not apply to products that were damaged due to negligence, improper installation, improper use or any other actions not specified by Anchorlift. Windlasses should not to be used to haul the seabed to the boat, or drag the boat to the anchor. The proper way is motoring up to the anchor, and use the boat to " break" loose the anchor. If the boat is heavy for it`s size or is commercially used, please go up a size when choosing a windlass. This Warranty shall be voided if the equipment is alterred or repaired by unqualified personnel. Anchorlift's 5-Year Warranty does not include rope/chain combinations.

Buyers' Guide & Selection Chart
   
 
When selecting a windlass system there are some important matters to consider:
  • boat size
  • displacement
  • windage
  • anchor size
  • chain size
Choosing a windlass system too small for your boat could result in compromising your safety and inevitably costly repairs. The most common way to rate a windlass is by it`s maximum pulling power (or lifting power) and maximum working load. Anchorlift offers windlasses in several sizes and design and motors from 400 - 4000 watts in 12, 24, 230 & 380 v.
 
VERTICAL WINDLASSES
The vertical models such as the Barracuda, Dolphin, Mako & Aquarius are the most popular because they do not take up much space on deck and are lighter then the horizontal windlasses. They are also very easy to install and do not require any more mounting holes than the horizontal windlass models. A considerable advantage to the vertical windlasses is that they are better protected from direct contact with salt water, since the gear & motor are installed underneath deck. On the vertical windlasses the chain/rope takes a 180 degree turn around the gypsy before dropping, which means that the chain/rope sits tighter in the gypsy and runs better.

HORIZONTAL WINDLASSES
Horizontal windlass models such as Stingray have all of their parts above the deck and are usually chosen by boaters who either like the design or have a limited amount of space underneath deck for storing the chain/rope.

Windlass System Troubleshooting - FAQ's
   
Q: Nothing happens when I use the Up & Down switches. What could be causing this?

A: It could be a shortage of power to the Up & Down switches.

Suggestion: Try flipping the on the On/Off switch. See if the fuse has blown.

Q: The solenoid clicks but the windlass will not go either way. What is the problem?

A: There is sufficient power to the solenoid, but not to the windlass.

Suggestion: Check the power supply for the windlass motor. See if the main fuse has blown. (This is not the same fuse for the motor and the solenoid. The main motor fuse is from 70 - 150 amps and the solenoid is 5 amps)

Q: The windlass works normally, but doesn't have enough power to haul the anchor. What could be causing this?

A: The windlass clutch is too loose.

Suggestion: Use the windlass handle to tighten the clutch.

Q: The windlass operates normally, but the chain does not come in. What is causing this?

A: The chain gets jammed on the windlass or underneath the windlass.

Suggestion: This is a common problem especially with new chains (with a lot of galvanizing on the chain). Bring the chain out and then in again. Another problem can be the storage room for the chain. If this is too small the chain can get jammed. If the chain gets stuck without you noticing, the main fuse might blow.

Q: My windlass seems weak and powerless, and the drop and haulage speed is slow. What causes this?

A: Your battery is week, remember we are dealing with a lot of power consumption.

Suggestion: The main fuse might blow under these circumstances. Remember to use the correct cable size for the motor.
