Maxwell Horizontal Winches

Shop horizontal anchor winches online at Smart Marine, with Maxwell and Lewmar windlasses for trailer boats and launches. A horizontal windlass sits on the deck and feeds your rope and chain down into the anchor locker, making it a good choice where there's limited space below deck.

Choosing a windlass. Freefall models, like the Maxwell HRC FF range and Lewmar Pro Fish, let you drop the anchor quickly without power, while capstan models, like the Maxwell HRC10, add a warping drum for handling mooring lines. Match the winch's gypsy to your chain size, and check you have enough depth in your anchor locker for the rode to self-stow. Maxwell packages come with switchgear included, and Lewmar Pro Fish and Pro Series windlasses come as complete kits.

Finish your setup with anchor winch accessories, including wiring looms and remote controls, plus chain and anchoring hardware, anchors, bow rollers and circuit breakers. No anchor locker? See our drum winches, or for larger boats, our vertical anchor winches.
