Selecting the appropriate windlass and ground tackle for your vessel and application ensuresefficient deployment and retrieval of your anchor irrespective of anchoring or weatherconditions. An undersized windlass may well compromise the safety of your vessel and crew.Choosing the right one should prevent costly repairs and damage.

When selecting a windlass there are a number of factors that need to be considered: vesseltype, length and displacement, anchor and chain size, windage and the anchoringenvironment. The selection chart on page 5 will assist in determining the ideal windlass optionsfor your vessel. Once the suitable windlasses are identified refer to those particular productspecification pages in the catalogue for details or visit the Muir website at www.muir.com.auand use the automatic online windlass selector.

A windlass is often exposed to harsh elements therefore it is important to consider the materialsand components it is manufactured from. Muir windlasses incorporate high quality componentsincluding chromed bronze running gear, stainless steel drive shafts and marine coated alloyhousings, to ensure strength, durability and long term usage.

A powered windlass with some form of manual operation or override is always a wise choiceand ensures peace of mind that the anchor can be retrieved if power failed or in anemergency. The type and style of windlass you select will depend on the depth of the chainlocker, the fore deck layout, power options and personal preference.

MANUAL OR POWER OPERATION?There are three main ways a windlass can be powered.

Manual windlasses: you do the work of a motor, while internal gearing or a ratchet drivemakes it easier. These windlasses are above deck units and very simple to install.

Electric and hydraulic power windlasses: windlass motors do all the lifting controlled by remoteor deck switches and require little user interaction. By far the easiest method for weighinganchor, however, requires electrical or hydraulic power sources.

DEPTH OF THE CHAIN LOCKER?Measuring the vertical distance underside of the deck and the top of the completely stored andheaped anchor rode in the locker will assist in determining the installation to suit your vessel.Refer to the fall depth diagrams to the left, and the options detailed below.

HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL CONFIGURATION?Windlasses are one of two types - vertical or horizontal. This is based on the orientation of thedrive shaft - vertical or horizontal in direction.

Vertical Windlass: The running gear, gypsy and capstan are positioned above the deck with themotor and gear drive below. Vertical windlasses operate at optimum with greater anchor rodefall than the horizontal windlass and a minimum fall of 30cm from top of stacked anchor rodeis recommended. This is particularly important if using nylon line which does not fold and stackas well as chain does. Vertical windlasses minimise deck intrusion and the modern curved lines enhance the look of any vessel. A vertical windlass provides a 180-degree wrap of theanchor rode around the gypsy for maximum feed into the locker and prevention of chainslippage and jumping.

Horizontal Windlass: Fully enclosed, above deck windlasses, this style is usually preferredwhere locker space is limited or additional fall is required. The motor and gear drive is fullyenclosed in the housing with nothing protruding below deck. The horizontal windlass operateswith optimum anchor rode fall of at least 30cm from the top of the stacked anchor rode,anddue to the horizontal orientation of the gypsy higher above the deck there is additional fallprovided. These units are ideally suited for vessels with shallow locker space. Often selected forcommercial and charter vessel applications.

MANUAL OPERATION Consideration should be given to selecting an automatic windlass with the option of ManualOperation. Manual operation is available on various Atlantic and Compact Models, refer to themodel pages for further details.

Manual Override System (MORS): allows for manual retrieval of the anchor rode with the application ofa standard sheet winch handle to the clutch cap on vertical models, and an extension handle forCompact models.

Manual Operating System (MOS): allows for manual operation featuring a special handle that fits to thetop of the gypsy after the capstan or clutch top has been removed.

DETERMINING THE CAPACITY OF THE WINDLASS TO SUIT MY REQUIREMENTSOnce you have identified the windlasses that will suit your vessel based on the length and displacementfrom the table on page 5, you need to determine the lift capacity required for your application and thenrefer to the detailed information on the appropriate model.

The steps to achieve this are:

1) Determine the weight of anchor tackle [anchor + anchor rode (anchor + chain) = anchor tackle]

2) Multiply the weight of the anchor tackle by a factor of three to determine the required pulling power of the windlass.

For example: Weight of anchor tackle = 125lbs/56kgThe required pulling power = 125lbs/56kg x 3 = 375lbs/168kg

The required pulling power of the windlass should not exceed 1/3 of the maximum load of thewindlass. Therefore we would select a 1200lb/545kg windlass as it is 3 times the required pullingpower of 375lb. In this instance an Atlantic 1200/1250 or Compact 1200 would be best suitedassuming the vessel had an average displacement.

WORK LOADTypically 25% of the maximum load of the windlass, and usually involves multiple stages of operation asthe vessel is pulled up above the anchor and rode, breaks free from the seabed and is stowed.

At each stage the workload varies. During the breakout of the anchor from the seabed it will be at itsmaximum load peak. The windlass should not be used to haul the vessel to the anchor, but the vesselshould be powered toward the anchor to minimise the load on the windlass.

CIRCUIT BREAKERTo protect the motor and wiring of the electric windlass and to qualify for warranty, a circuit breakermust be installed. An appropriate circuit breaker for the AMPs load should be used, to ensure that whenthe windlass is at its peak the circuit breaker does not trip. Your Muir office or local representative willsupply the recommended circuit breaker to suit the windlass requirements for maximum safety.

SECURITYTo minimise unnecessary load on the windlass and drive gear whilst at anchor, the anchor rode shouldbe secured with a chain stopper or snubber line. For a complete selection of safety accessories refer tothe system accessories at the back of the catalogue.

The award winning Muir Atlantic series revolutionises rope chain windlass technology.They are the preferred choice for high performance and smooth operation of rope-chain or chain only anchor rodes. The Atlantic series of vertical windlassesprovides the strength of conventional vertical windlasses but with advanced andinnovative concepts. Recognised for their sleek curved lines, Atlantics are available inlow profile (VR) or capstan (VRC) configurations, with models to suit all recreational andcommercial vessels up to 35m(115ft).

Atlantic windlasses provide the highest level of security and safety, whilst enhancing theforedeck of the most luxurious vessel.

FAST RETRIEVALUsing the latest in efficient windlass drives, the Atlantic series provides effective andrapid anchor retrieval with high speeds of up to 25 metres per minute on some models,whilst also allowing smooth deployment of the anchor rode and chain.

ROPE-CHAIN COMBINATION RODESThe Rope Chain Management System (RCMS) on Atlantic windlasses consists of aspring loaded finger & 180 degree stripper arrangement that provides smooth transitionfor rope-chain combination, and carefully guides the anchor rode into the chain locker.This is aided by a unique combination rope and chain gypsy with special inner ropejaws and outer chain pockets that automatically accommodates both the rope and chainrode. A 180 degree stripper/peeler assembly fits to the gypsy hub preventing the rodefrom jamming and allowing a smooth vertical drop into the chain locker. RCMS isstandard on the Atlantic 600 – 1250, and optional on all other Atlantic models.

MANUAL OPERATIONThe Atlantic series offers two manual operation alternatives. The Manual OverrideSystem (MORS) is standard on the premium Atlantic 1000, 1200 and 4000 models &optional on most other models, and provides manual retrieval of the rope & chain orchain only rode by simply applying a standard sheet winch handle to the top of thewindlass. The Manual Operating System (MOS) features a special handle that fits intothe top of the gypsy once the capstan or clutch top has been removed. The MOS isoptional on most Atlantic models.

REDUCED INSTALLATION TIMEAtlantic windlass bases accommodate a self-aligning gearbox adaptor that reducesinstallation time allowing the gearbox and motor to be installed directly onto the shaft inany radial position and alleviating distortion between the deck plate and gearboxflange. A sealed shaft protects the transmission below deck.

STYLEAtlantic windlasses are modern, stylish and their unobtrusive design ensures space ismaximized and the foredeck enhanced without comprising performance and durability.

AND MORE….Automatic Freefall Atlantic models provide rapid freefall and total control whenanchoring, and all with the flick of a switch. There is an Atlantic model to suit everyapplication, available with DC, AC or Hydraulic power options and for vessels upto13m/42ft the new inline drive.

Compact Horizontal Windlasses

The powerful Compact range of horizontal windlasses provides the perfect alternative tovertical models for all recreational, commercial and fishing vessels up to 25 metres.

Compact series of horizontal windlasses are ideal for installations where chain lockerspace is at a premium or not easily accessible. These complete above deck units areconstructed from durable marine alloy housings enclosing the powerful and heavy dutymotor and gearbox, waterproofing and protecting it from the harsh elements. Allrunning gear is designed for durability and performance, manufactured from marinegrade bronze with luxury chrome or optional traditional polished bronze finish.

The Compact series incorporates many of the innovative features available across theAtlantic range.

ROPE CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RCMS)All compact models can be used with rope-chain anchor rodes.

The Rope Chain Management System (RCMS) facilitates smooth rope-chain operationand is available by replacing a standard chain pipe with the RCMS unit. RCMSincorporates a spring loaded finger arrangement fitted to a separate chain pipe thatdirects and pushes the rope into the inner jaw of the gypsy whilst allowing the chain tofollow and pass through automatically. A stripper/peeler assembly fits around the gypsyhub to prevent the rope from jamming and facilitates a smooth vertical drop into thechain locker. RCMS is an integrated and standard unit on the HR600 and HR700 andshould be considered for all Compact models where rope-chain combination is beingutilised.

INDEPENDENT ROPE CAPSTAN OPERATIONMost Compact models feature a knurled capstan that can be operated independently ofthe gypsy/chainwheel for line handling or auxillary purposes.

MANUAL OPERATIONManual operation is standard on all models from HR1200 to 4200 ensuring completeback up should battery power fail or emergency situation prevail.

EASE OF INSTALLATIONInstallation of the Compact range is quick & simple with no separate drive assembly tobe mounted below deck.

PERFORMANCEOperational performance of the Compact models is further enhanced by the highvertical drop to the chain locker and the 90 degree wrap of chain and rope on thegypsy that provides quick and trouble free deployment and retrieval.

AUTOMATIC FREEFALL Muir’s Compact range of windlasses includes automatic freefall models. Thesewindlasses provide AUTOMATIC and rapid free fall with a simple flick of a switch fromthe helm. The freefall can be interrupted at any stage. Ideal for single-handed boating,fishing, or for vessels with inaccessible foredecks. For further information refer to page 6.

AND MORE…The Compact range is available in 12 & 24 volt and hydraulic options. Muir offer afull range of accessories to suit the Compact models including electric controls, chain,rope, anchors, anchor rollers and chain stoppers.

ROPE CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RCMS)

Facilitates smooth combined rope-chain operation for Atlantic and Compact windlasses.The Compact Series RCMS is a separate unit that replaces a standard chain pipe with a specialchain pipe featuring a spring loaded finger and integral 180 degree stripper/peeler. The springloaded finger arrangement directs and guides the rope into the inner jaw of the gypsy whilstallowing the chain to follow and pass through automatically. A stripper/peeler assembly fits aroundthe gypsy hub to prevent the rope from jamming and facilitates a smooth vertical drop into the chain locker.

Atlantic Series RCMS is a combination of a special spring loaded finger and rope-chain gypsy withinner teeth fitted to the windlass at the time of manufacture. RCMS is recommended for allcombination rope-chain anchor rodes.Compact RCMS
