Engbo MAXI windlasses is a common designation for
1000/1500 W, 12/24V Engbo windlasses. Some of the
models are most suitable for fitting aft, some fore, and
others both fore and aft. Engbo MAXI windlasses are
designed for boats larger than around 25 feet. These
windlasses – with the exception of type 33 – are
authentic free-fall windlasses, which means that a
neutral position in the windlass gears allows the anchor
to drop directly to the seabed immediately after the
“anchor down” (arrow down) button has been pressed.
The system is based on allowing the weight of the
anchor on the outside of the anchor bracket to define
how quickly the anchor drops. Therefore, it is
important to avoid unnecessary friction between rope
and hull, rollers and/or guides.
Example: If you fit the windlass with a Bruce anchor,
you will need to use the jointed anchor bracket and
ensure that the angle between horizontal and the rope
is at least 15–20º. If the angle is too narrow, the
anchor will “balance” and need “assistance” to tip out.
Electronic control unit
Engbo MAXI windlasses are fitted with modern
electronics that consist of:
Transistor-controlled power electronics that
replace the conventional cut-in relay. The new
electronic unit contains no open contacts and is very
flexible as regards voltage.
The control electronics are software-based and
feature an integrated radio receiver that
communicates with the wireless remote control, and
a built-in system to protect the windlass motor and
electronic components. Other functions controlled
electronically are two “up” speeds and two automatic
stop indicators for seating the anchor.
