VWC2500 Vertical Windlass & Chain Pipe 12V – 5/16″ High-Test or BBB Chain Only

The VWC Series is designed for automatic vertical handling of chain-only anchor rodes while offering an independent capstan for the retrieval of a secondary rope and chain rode or to assist with docking procedures.

Features:

• Fully automatic single or dual direction chainwheel operation
  
• High-quality finish on above deck components, manufactured from marine grade stainless steel (AISI 316), for long term durability
  
• Integral chain pipe and stripper are aligned for virtually jam-tree operation providing automatic feed of chain into and out of the anchor locker
  
• Port and starboard chain pipes for twin installations (Sizes 2500 and above only.)
  
• Cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits manual ‘free fall’ anchoring; Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth progressive engagement ensuring safe and precise operator control

• Anodized aluminium gearbox and spacer tube on all models
  
• Heavy duty, dual direction motor, designed for marine winches
