Quick Windlass Equipment & Parts

Quick Windlass Equipment & Parts at Fisheries Supply

When selecting a Quick Windlass brand windlass for your boat, there are several important factors to consider. The size and type of your boat, its displacement, the weight of your anchor and anchor rode, and the size of your chain are all crucial elements that will determine the appropriate windlass for your needs. Fisheries Supply offers the Quick Prince DP2 vertical windlass perfect for boats with limited deck space. We also carry Quick Windlass parts.

FAQs

Does Quick windlass have a manual recovery system?
Some models like Antares, Argo, and Hector include a manual lift system for anchor retrieval in case of power loss.

Can Quick windlasses free fall the chain?
Yes, certain models of Quick windlasses are equipped with free-fall capabilities, allowing the anchor chain to deploy rapidly. For instance, the Genius GP2 series offers an automatic free-fall system that enables the chain to run freely through the gypsy when lowering the anchor. It's important to note that not all Quick windlass models come with free-fall functionality.

What maintenance does a Quick windlass require?
Regularly clean external surfaces with fresh water, grease gypsy and clutch cones, and remove oxide deposits from solenoid terminals.
