There's nothing more frustrating than a faulty anchor winch when you're ready to drop anchor or head home. A winch that's struggling, jammed, or completely dead can put a stop to your day on the water. That's why we've put together a huge range of anchor winch parts to get you sorted.
From a complete motor replacement to the smallest internal component, you'll find everything you need right here to get your winch running smoothly and reliably again. We stock high-quality gear for all kinds of repairs, so you can tackle the job with confidence and get back to boating without a worry.
Sometimes a minor fix won't cut it. For a windlass that has seen better days or suffered major failure, a complete replacement unit is the most effective solution. We stock powerful replacement motors, gearboxes, and combined motor and gearbox units designed to restore your winch to its original performance.
This is your go-to option for a total overhaul, providing a fresh start with brand-new, reliable mechanics. Fitting a new core unit can be a more straightforward and lasting repair than trying to patch up multiple worn-out components, giving you peace of mind for seasons to come. But a full replacement isn't always necessary when the issue is localised.
Often, the heart of the problem is a small, failed electrical component inside the motor housing. Before you consider replacing the whole unit, it's worth checking these vital parts. Our collection of anchor winch spare parts includes critical items like motor brushes, which wear down over time, and reversing solenoids, which control the direction of your winch.
We offer solenoids in various amperages to suit different winch models, from single-direction units to heavy-duty double-pole reversing models. Replacing one of these can be a simple and cost-effective fix that brings a dead winch back to life, restoring the power you need to manage your anchor.
Every winch is different, and using the right model-specific part is key to a successful repair. We stock a selection of dedicated spares designed to fit particular windlass models perfectly. This is where you’ll find specialised boat anchor winch parts like rope chain stripper kits and pressure lever kits.
These components perform crucial functions, guiding the rope and chain smoothly or applying the right tension, and using a genuine replacement preserves the original design and function of your winch. Getting the exact part for your model avoids guesswork and makes for a much cleaner, more reliable installation.
Having a powerful winch motor is one thing, but controlling it safely and precisely is just as important. Worn-out switches and damaged cables can lead to unreliable operation or complete failure when you need it most. Here you'll find all the necessary controls and accessories to keep you in command.
We have replacement wired plugs, sockets with protective caps, and durable curly cords for handheld remotes. You can also find support brackets to keep your remote secure, replacement rubber covers for foot switches, and even advanced gear like chain counters that tell you exactly how much chain you've deployed.
Beyond the motor and controls, a number of structural and safety components work to keep your anchoring system secure. These are the parts that provide manual backup and protect your system from electrical damage. You’ll find sturdy windlass handles for manual operation in case of power failure, a critical piece of safety gear for any vessel.
We also have circuit breakers and spare cover kits to safeguard your winch motor from power surges, preventing costly damage. For added security at sea, an anchor safety strap is a must-have, holding your anchor firmly in the bow roller when underway.
The direct connection between your winch and your chain is managed by key mechanical components that need to be in top condition for smooth operation. A worn chain gypsy can cause the chain to slip, jump, or jam, leading to poor performance and potential damage.
We offer a range of replacement chain gypsies to match various chain sizes, restoring that perfect, secure grip on your anchor rode. You'll also find spare base kits for certain windlass models, giving you the structural mounting parts needed for a solid, wobble-free foundation. These anchor winch parts are fundamental to achieving precise control over your anchor.
