Dropping and retrieving your anchor by hand is tough work that eats into your valuable time on the water. A windlass anchor system takes the strain out of anchoring, giving you more control, safety, and speed with the simple press of a button. It’s a game-changing piece of gear that lets you anchor securely in more places with less effort.
Here at Boat Accessories Australia, we stock a huge range of windlass winches designed for the harsh marine environment. From powerful electric models for large cruisers to dependable manual options for smaller vessels, you’ll find the right windlass anchor winch to make your next trip easier and safer.
When deck space is at a premium, a vertical electric anchor windlass is the perfect solution. These units have a low profile on deck because the motor and gearbox are mounted below, saving you precious room. They are brilliant for managing anchor rode in deep water, offering a smooth and controlled drop and retrieve.
Our selection covers a wide spectrum of power, from compact 300W models ideal for trailer boats right up to heavy-duty 2300W units built for large vessels requiring serious pulling power. A powerful marine windlass gives you the confidence to anchor securely, knowing your gear has the strength to hold fast and bring your anchor back on board, every time. While our vertical models are perfect for deep drops, your deck layout might call for a different configuration.
For many boaties, a horizontal windlass anchor winch is the most practical choice. With the motor and gearbox housed in a single unit on the deck, installation and maintenance are incredibly straightforward. This design is particularly well-suited for boats with smaller anchor lockers or tricky access below deck.
You can find everything from classic on-deck models to combination units that include a capstan for secondary line handling. A quality windlass anchor system like this provides reliable performance for years, and we have options with pulling power from 1200kg to 2000kg. A well-chosen anchor windlass winch is a long-term investment in your boat, and keeping it in top condition is simple when you have access to the right parts.
Even the toughest windlass electric anchor winch needs a bit of upkeep. We stock all the essential electrical components & spare parts to keep your system in prime condition. A worn-out motor doesn't have to mean a full replacement; you can find a powerful new motor here to get your winch pulling like new again.
We also have replacement plugs, sockets, and gaskets to maintain a secure, waterproof connection, which is critical in a saltwater environment. For those with advanced systems, a replacement chain counter sensor kit keeps your readouts accurate, so you always know how much rode you have out.
Having a reliable electric windlass winch means having the parts to back it up. With your system powered up, you can turn your attention to getting the most convenient control over it.
Getting the most out of your windlass winch is all about control. We offer a range of accessories that let you operate your anchor from anywhere on the boat. Handheld remote controls, both wired and wireless, give you the freedom to move around the deck while keeping a close eye on the anchor.
For hands-free operation, nothing beats deck-mounted foot switches. They let you manage the anchor with a simple tap of your foot, leaving your hands free for other tasks. We even stock replacement rubber covers to keep your foot switches protected from the elements. A good windlass boat winch becomes even better with the right accessories, putting complete and precise control right at your fingertips.
