Anchor winches

(78 products)

Anchor winches make raising and lowering the anchor much easier and provide more comfort and safety on board – especially when using heavy anchor gear or in challenging conditions.

  • Anchor winches: comfort and safety during anchoring maneuvers

    Anchor winches make hauling easier with heavy anchors, long chains, and deep water. They ensure quick, safe, and injury-free anchor hoisting. The required power depends on the boat type, anchor weight, and anchor gear.

  • Manual vs. electric anchor winches

    Manual winches, also known as emergency hand winch systems, are suitable for lighter anchors and shallow waters. Electric anchor winches offer maximum ease of use and are ideal for heavy anchors or rocky bottoms.

  • Vertical and horizontal anchor winches

    With vertical anchor winches, the chain is guided at 180° around the chainring, ensuring optimal control and minimal friction. Horizontal models sit entirely on deck and require no storage space underneath—ideal when space is limited.

  • Selection criteria for the right winch

    Important factors include boat and anchor size, water depth, battery capacity, and installation location. A powerful alternator, appropriate cable cross-sections, and, if necessary, an auxiliary battery are recommended. Robust mechanics and a weatherproof housing round out a high-quality anchor winch.
