Windlass Service

Anchor windlasses come in a variety of styles - vertical or horizontal (in reference to drum orientation), manual, electric or hydraulic powered. Each has their own set of pros and cons with regards to maintenance and upkeep. Manual units are almost bulletproof, but require conscientious greasing and cleaning. Hydraulic units can develop leaks, while electrical units have numerous components (batteries, switches, solenoids, etc.) that require service due to diligence and due to being located in exposed, often wet locations.
