Anchorlift 12V Windlass Solenoid, 400 Amp, Regular/Reverse, 3 & 4 Post Motors
The Anchorlift 12V Windlass Solenoid is a compact, high-capacity switching solenoid built to operate anchor windlass systems rated from 400 to 3000 watts. It handles up to 400 amps, making it suitable for windlass motors that draw heavy current during anchor retrieval and deployment. The solenoid is configured for regular/reverse operation, allowing it to control both the up and down directions of a windlass motor, and it is built with multiple external posts to accommodate 3 and 4 post motor wiring configurations. The external connection layout is designed for straightforward installation, giving boat owners and installers easy access to the terminals when wiring or replacing a windlass solenoid. As a 12V component, it is intended for standard 12 volt marine electrical systems commonly found on recreational boats. This solenoid is a functional replacement or upgrade part for anchor windlass installations where the existing solenoid has failed or where a windlass system is being wired from scratch. Its compact size helps it fit into the tight electrical compartments typical of windlass installations without requiring major modification to existing wiring runs.
