windlass

New boat owner 1998 440 Express Bridge. Can anyone confirm for me where the battery for the windlass is located... and is it connected to the battery charger? Seem like the battery is dying (windlass is barely responding). Would appreciate any insight. joe

Last season, the stud holding the pressure finger on my windlass broke off. Luckily, I was able to save the finger (if you weren't able to save the finger, the entire kit is available at www.p2marine.com). This is a very common problem with these windlasses. I successfully repaired it and...

I have a 270 Sea Ray SDX. My windlass stopped working. Does anyone know where the fuse is for the windlass on newer SDX’s?

270 SunDancer 97 model year. First use of Lofrans Marlin Rope Chain windlass. Pays out and retrieves chain properly Pays out Rope OK, but will not retrieve. Grips slightly then slips with no rope retrieved. The gypsy appears in good condition but a spring activated snubber (?) does nothing (see...

I sheared off my clutch nut on my Lofrans project 1000 windlass. Looking to see if anyone has one they'll sell. Maybe you're parting out an old windlass or have 1 you no longer need

I recently purchase a used 2014 350 SLX. I have been having horrible windlass issues. The windlass operated fine, but the anchor line slips on the gypsy and continues to bunch up where it drops into the anchor locker. I have a Quick DP2 512 with 1/2 inch anchor line and 20 feet of 1/4 inch...

Hello Sundancers! I need to replace rode (rope + chain) on my 2007 280 DA. Do you know which windlass is installed (part manual suggest Quick 1848989) suggested rope and chain diameters where to find/download windlass manual Thanks in advance Jovan

Buying a 2016 Sundancer 370 with all chain windlass and was wanting to know how much chain comes with it from the factory and is there a chain counter.

I currently need a replacement finger kit (tensioning finger, post, spring, etc.) for the Lofrans Marlin windlass on my 2007 260 DA. The Marlin model was discontinued and parts are hard to come by, so any advice on where to find these parts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, does anyone know what model Quick Windlass the 2007 sea ray 290 slx had? I need to get a replacement part for it but can't find a model number to order the part. Thanks!

The shaft bearing on my 2007 Quick windlass has ceased up and needs replacing but I can't find a model/serial number on the windlass to buy a replacement bearing. Anyone have the same Quick windlass and can tell me what model my 2007 290 slx was fitted with? Many thanks!

My 2007 Sundancer 280 does not have an anchor windlass and I am wanting to install one. I see windlass switches at the helm. Does anyone know if the switches and breaker are connected to the wiring harness? I see blue and green wires stubbed off in the anchor locker, so am thinking these come...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and also new to the Sea Ray world so please bare with me :). Last month I purchased a 2005 260DA, very nice boat, very well maintained. Well now I have an issue with the windlass. I tried to drop anchor over the weekend but didn't check the chain locker and...

Going to buy a 2000 280 Sunsport but it doesn't have a windlass. Is there a good after market one out there and what type of anchor should I be buying? Is it easy to install one? Cheers

I've read a lot of windlass threads. I'm still stumped on why our Sea Ray 2000 290 Amberjack windlass (Lofrans Progress 1) has stopped working. The facts: 1. I did not know I was supposed to tie off the chain to the cleat to take pressure off the windlass. And we were pulled along in the wind...

Moments like these I remember the saying: There are no stupid question, only stupid people :) But here we go... I don't know how to remove windlass from my 1997 sea ray sundacer 250DA. I want to take it off because it isn't working properly but don't know how... Should i remove only the...

can a windlass be added to my 1998 215EC, any info on how to and/or where to get info would be a great help:smt100 Dave

I am rebidding the bow of the boat (spot light, scuff plate, cleat, anchor rode holder). I got everything off but the windlass. I see 4 nuts that I am sure I have to remove. All I want is access on the bow to rebed the windlass. If I remove those 4 nuts can I simply pull up the top part that...

We recently purchased a 2000 340DA. It has an all chain anchor rode, no rope. The windlass is a Lofrans Progressive one. On the bow, next to the windlass there is a large cleat. This cleat is for rope anchor rode. It is for securing the anchore rope once the anchor has been deployed and...

First time issue with my 280 Sundancer Quick Windlass. Windlass was factory installed on my 2007 280 and hasn't had any issues until this weekend. Pulling up anchor in a new to us cover this weekend, we hooked a large tree and pulled it up with the windlass. The windlass just quit on us after...
