Windlasses
Powerful windlasses for smooth, safe, and hassle-free anchoring.
At The Outdoor Warehouse, we stock marine-grade windlasses to make anchoring fast, safe, and efficient. Whether you need an electric windlass for convenience, a manual windlass for simplicity, or a hydraulic windlass for heavy-duty use, we’ve got you covered with trusted brands and durable options.
How to Choose the Right Windlass
- Boat Size: Match the pulling capacity to your vessel’s length and displacement.
- Power Source: Electric is most common, hydraulic for larger vessels, manual for small boats.
- Mounting Style: Horizontal windlasses save space; vertical windlasses offer smoother chain handling.
- Chain & Rope: Ensure compatibility with your anchor rode for reliable operation.
- Usage: Frequent offshore use may require a more powerful system than casual anchoring.
