Quick Balder 2 Windlass - 1200W, 1/4" Chain & 1/2" Rope Below Deck

The Quick Balder 2 Windlass is a 1200W electric anchor handling system designed for cruisers and fishing boats that demand reliable deck automation without the weight penalty of traditional hydraulic systems. This innovative windlass is perfect for those who want to simplify anchor retrieval, especially in challenging conditions or during extended cruising trips.

Built around a robust 1200-watt motor, the Quick Balder 2 efficiently manages a 1/4" chain and 1/2" rope combination through a compact below-deck installation. This design minimizes visual clutter on your foredeck while providing consistent, controlled power for both lowering and raising the anchor. The dual-line capability allows for operational flexibility, enabling users to switch between chain and rope based on seabed conditions.

Ideal for vessels in the 28–45-foot range, this windlass is a valuable upgrade for serious cruisers, charter operators, and fishing crews who spend extended periods at anchor. Its smooth pull rates prevent snatching and shock-loading, extending the life of both chain and rope while reducing stress on the bow structure where the windlass is mounted.
