		Because of the limited space beneath the windlass it is necessary to help the chain down to the bottom of the locker once or twice as it comes in.
		This works well for dropping the anchor but when raising the anchor single handed you are still going to have to go to the foredeck once or twice each time to clear the rode and chain from below the windlass as explained above.
		When anchored, put the anchor rode on a cleat so that the windlass is not taking the load of the anchored boat.

		The Joliet regenerative braking system is capable of controlling the payout and inhaul speed of the anchor windlass with any chain weight or line tension up to the stall capacity or mechanical limitation of the windlass.
		The windlass DC traction motors can be modified to improve their thermal capacity for this application.
		The regenerative braking affect is limited to the DC motor’s safe maximum continuous armature current, the commutation limits of the DC motor and the safe maximum field current applicable to the DC motor.

	BoatUS BoatTECH Guides: Anchor Windlasses
		Lever-type windlasses are generally single speed, and vertical models, like sheet winches, have two speeds: a fast, low-power gear for light loads, and a slower speed with higher power for when the going gets tougher.
		Windlasses weigh a lot and handle high loads; you may need to reinforce your deck and spread the load with marine plywood or an aluminum or stainless plate.
		Although your windlass is rated at three times the weight of your anchor and chain, the slop factor takes into account strong wind, current, and recalcitrant anchors firmly dug in.

	Windlass information for sailing yachts and boats or boat-for-sale
		For myself the anchor windlass has a level of importance way up there with the sails, rig and engine and it's right up there now on my list of things that must be good on the prospective new boat-for-sale listings.
		With the combination of high current loads and cable length it is subject to voltage drop problems, and anchor windlass performance and therefore lifting capability is reduced by the installation of incorrectly sized and rated cables.
		Windlasses do not have a constant load during anchor recovery, but have a varying load according to the various phases of anchor recovery.

	Anchor windlass - Patent 4274620
		An anchor windlass has a shaft on which an anchor-line sprocket is freely rotatable between an abutment fixed axially on the shaft and an entrainment emenet fixed rotationally but axially shiftable on this shaft.
		An anchor windlass typically has a wheel either constituted as a capstan, sprocket, drum, or barrel that can be rotated at low speed with high torque to haul in an anchor.
		Thus with the system according to the instant invention to haul anchor the motor or crank which rotates the shaft is operated in one direction while the pawl is engaged in the notch of the nut to screw it forwardly and clamp the wheel tightly on the shaft.

		The power used by the electric anchor windlass is not a real problem; modern boats have proper batteries and the electric anchor windlass runs for few minutes only.
		The main advantage of this type of anchor windlass is that the profile deck is very compact as the electric motor and the gearbox are under the deck.
		Most of our anchor windlasses are available in two different electric motors, a powerful electric motor which is faster and has more pulling power, and a smaller one with a lower current draw so it is possible to use smaller cross section electric cables.

	Winch Selection Guide
		Estimating or measuring the depth of fall of the rode into the anchor locker may dictate which type of windlass is most suitable for your vessel.
		Accessories such as chain stoppers or chain snubbers are highly recommended for safe anchoring, the avoidance of unintentional self-launching of the anchor and for the prevention of damage to your anchor winch.
		The anchor winch is designed to pull up a dead weight and should not be subjected to the strain of your boat riding at anchor.

		I have tied using the rope side of the windlass and it seems to work OK (just slow) but if you needed the extra leverage it would be there.

	DIY ANCHOR WINCH INSTALLATION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		We recently traded our manual anchor windlass for a Powerwinch 45 and found the installation process to be well suited to the abilities of the average do-it-yourselfer.
		If an anchor winch is not positioned exactly behind and on the same line as the bow roller, the rode will not feed properly between the gypsy and roller.
		Powerwinch's new line of anchor winches is particularly appealing to boats of all sizes because of their "freefall" feature.

	CruzPro Intelligent Windlass Controller
		It can automatically slow your windlass when the anchor gets within 5 feet of the bow roller to prevent nasty bumps and scrapes.
		This removes tension off the chain, capstan and windlass gears increasing windlass life and automatically "parks" the chain into a chain stopper.
		The CH30 can be told to display windlass battery voltage (even under load - when deploying or retrieving the anchor) so you can check the condition of the windlass battery from the helm.

		The tech I spoke with said he would not recommend more than approximately 40feet of chain because the windlass was designed to be vertically mounted with a full wrap before the chain goes into the locker.
		The horizontal mount reduces the amount of chain on the windlass by approximately 75%.
		Conditions were anchor at 8degrees,wind shifts 30degreesand wind at Fh=0,28 V2 W1/2 pounds.

		When it came time to raise the anchor the horzontal motion was not that bad with the deck pitching in 4 ft seas.
		The windlass had a long arm for the handle, which gave a lot of torque and then he was able to crank the chain up quite rapidly.
		I was planning on installing a hand hold next to the windlass for the heavy seas so that you can hold yourself down in rough conditions and so that you have an anchor for your upper body to work from, making the cranking process much easier.

	SC MARINE \| Repairs \| Installations \| Anchor Windlasses
		Installing an anchor windlass can be the best solution to the tiresome chore of manually hauling in your anchor. Whether you install a manual or motor-driven system, a windlass will make retrieving your anchor simple and worry-free.
		Figure four times the unloaded weight if you favour anchoring in rocky waterways or often encounter adverse conditions. Today there is a choice of windlass for every anchor and rode type. Your first decision is whether to install a manual or a motor-driven system.
		Lever-type windlass systems are usually single speed, while vertical models, like sheet winches, have two speeds: fast, low-power gear for light loads, and a slower speed with higher power for the heavier, harder to handle loads.

		The clutch handle doubles as a manual retrieve handle too; this is the only windlass we tested that could retrieve the rode manually.
		The enclosed gypsy is an unusual design for a vertical windlass, as it tends to limit a user's ability to clear a jam.
		"The concept of this windlass grew out of an injury (albeit one we felt was mostly operator error), so we felt developing a fully enclosed, automatic rope/chain windlass design was important in the smaller vessel range where boaters are less knowledgeable about operation procedures," said Mike Dillon, president of North American operations.
