This unit comes in different variations such as with or without the drum capstan for rope retrieval and various gypsy sizes for rope and chain retrieval. It also has the capability to manually free fall for quick deployment of your anchor.
Additional features include an IP67 watertight motor, anodized aluminum gearbox, and inspection lid. Suitable for boats from 60 to feet, Duke is a vertical application windlass suitable for larger boats for a sophisticated look. It is constructed of AISI stainless steel better suited when dealing with harsh marine environments.
The unit comes in different variations with or without capstan for rope retrieval, chain stopper, and various gypsy sizes for rope and chain retrieval. It also includes a safety mechanical band break to help secure the gypsy. As the size of the vessel increases, so does the size of the associated ground tackle so more windlass power is needed. The higher the maximum pull, the higher the permissible working load of the windlass and hence the heavier the ground tackle that can be handled.
During anchor recovery, the windlass will pass through a number of operation phases until the anchor is broken out of the seabed. At each phase, the working load and retrieval speed of the windlass will vary.
It is this significant peak load at breakout that puts the most strain on any windlass and why it is important to ensure that each boat has a windlass that maximizes this load factor. This important consideration affects how much anchor rode can be placed in the locker and how much room there is for the windlass motor. Specifically, the fall is the vertical distance between the top of the anchor locker and the top of the rode when the entire rode is completely stored inside. Quick horizontal windlass has its drive-shaft aligned on a horizontal plane and is usually completely self-contained in an above deck mounted unit.
This windlass offers the best performance with small anchor lockers. Some maintenance operations tends to be easier. Quick Vertical Windlasses are aesthetically pleasing with their low-profile lines while optimizing the available deck area.
The Quick solenoids unit is able to operate electric motors for boats, such as windlasses, gangways, cranes, warping winches and electrical winches in general. What is the difference between a vertical and a horizontal windlass? Which windlass should I choose? Does the windlass come with a manual recovery system in case of power loss?
Can I free fall the chain? Does the windlass need maintenance? Can I convert my low profile windlass into a drum version? What is supplied with the windlass? What is the difference between solenoids and reversing solenoids units? Which solenoids units are used to operate Watt? Why does the W motor has two poles while the W has three and the W four? Can I use both rope and chain on the same gypsy?
What kind of splice is recommended? The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP button on the control provided. If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic switch or thermal cutout has not tripped, wait a few seconds and try again avoid keeping the button pressed. If the hydraulic magnetic switch, has tripped, reset it and wait a few minutes before weighing anchor once again.
If, after a number of attempts, the windlass is still blocked, we suggest to move the boat to release the anchor. Check the upward movement of the chain for the last few meters in order to avoid damages to the bow. For the independent use of the drum 4 release the clutch with the handle 23 , at least 2 turns of the bush anticlockwise.
Remove the handle from the bush on the gypsy, wrap the rope around the drum at least 3 turns. Activate the windlass control 42 , keeping the rope under tension during take up. By varying the tension during take up it is possible to modify the rope winding speed.
