Simple "bolt down" installation ensures effortless and rapid on-deck installation and set up
Guaranteed trouble free rode transition from rope to chain, by means of an innovative, proven and patented pressure arm system, within a safe enclosed design
Integrated composite nylon, through deck hawse pipe for ease of installation and smooth, snag-free operation
High efficiency spur gearbox incorporating a robust non-backwind mechanism
High speed, jam-free retrieval of rope and chain controlled from a remote panel mounted Up/Down switch
Emergency "free fall" function in the event of onboard power failure
Revolutionary new chainwheel - see over
Heavy duty, dual direction motor incorporating new technology features, including integrated wiring for quick electrical installation, is easily removed for simple routine electric brush maintenance
Now incorporating Maxwell's automatic free-fall technology. Simply activate the windlass 'free fall' lever, operate your down control (helm station or footswitch) and the windlass will freefall your anchor. Ready to lift the anchor? Activate the up control and the 'free fall' device automatically disengages allowing you to power up your anchor
Aesthetically pleasing above deck design, encapsulating the motor and drive in a watertight case, saving space below deck and allowing simple routine maintenance
Die cast, marine-grade, alloy case is hard anodized for unsurpassed marine protection
No issues with install and regulator installation.
At first has some rpm reading issue but it was easily fixed by tweaking min duty setting thanks to the support team at yacht rigger.
Installed with an APS alternator.

Lugs .... but more
While the review is for lugs, its actually for a lot more than that. I upgraded from AMGs to new lithium batteries. I bought these 4/0 lugs but also the 4/0 cables, fuses, cable shrink wrap and more. Basically everything I needed for the project. A huge shout out to the Yacht Rigger as being a DYI'er there were bits and pieces I needed last minute that got shipped right away and then a few items that I swapped out. They made this super easy.

Arco Zeus alternator regulator
After a lot of research, bought two of these units to go along with new Balmer XT-CR-170 alternators. Installation was a challenge but only due to having to run wires from one side of boat to the other but the support from Yacht Rigger electrical department was stellar. I had a couple of calls with Mike and he walked me through setup and configuration.

Nice product for sealing cable routes on my boat
Using this for a Starlink install. Looks to be easy to use and effective in keeping water out of the hole for the cable.
Super high quality products! Easy to install with the easy-to-follow instructions and expert guidance from The Yacht Rigger. (Be sure to turn the shore power off and unplug the cord!)
