Vetus VW Series Anchor Winches

The Vetus VW Series anchor winches are designed for traditional rope and chain anchor rodes, offering versatility and durability for both manual and automated anchoring needs. These robust winches are built to provide reliable performance, making them ideal for both recreational and commercial boats. The VW Series stands out with its ability to operate two anchors from a single winch, a feature that is not only convenient but also space-saving for your boat.

Advanced Features and Specifications

The VW Series winches are equipped with a variety of features that enhance their usability and durability. They come with a MAX-grip™ snag-free warping drum that allows for functional rope hauling from any direction, ensuring smooth and precise control. The chainwheel features clutch disengagement, allowing for positive control of all ropes and making the process of transferring the rode from the rope warping drum to the chainwheel a breeze. Additionally, the cone type brake/clutch mechanism allows for manual 'Free Fall' anchoring, ensuring safe and controlled anchoring operations. The chainwheel locking pawl is another important feature that provides secure operation.

Practical Uses and Target Audience

Whether you're a weekend sailor or a professional mariner, the Vetus VW Series anchor winches are designed to meet your needs. Their ability to be mounted horizontally on a fore and aft bulkhead inside a chain locker allows for below deck installation, maximizing space on your boat. The high-quality finish on above deck components, made from marine grade stainless steel (AISI 316) and chromed bronze, ensures long-term durability in harsh marine environments. The modular design simplifies through-deck installation, and the anodized aluminium gearbox and spacer provide added strength and longevity. The heavy-duty, dual-direction motor is designed specifically for marine winches, ensuring powerful and efficient operation. With their ease of disassembly for servicing, the Vetus VW Series anchor winches are the perfect choice for any boat owner seeking reliability and performance.
