Powered Replacement for manual SL Seahorse windlass

[catmandoo]

Got 20 metres of 10mm chain , 100 metres of 20.8mm warp and a 35 lb CQR linked to a Simpson Lawrence S50 Seahorse manual windlass. Want to replace manual windlass with electric but dont want to throw away rest of tackle . Any recommendations for replacement make , model . Problem is matching tackle to unit so Gipsy must be compatible with chain and rope sizes . Looking for horizontal unit with gypsy and drum

there are many out there quite cheep by now
Do you want to sell your old manual one?

Have had some feed back from an Ex S and L guy that the S50 was later discontinued in that it used non standard calibrated chain . Not sure if this is true or not . Is there an equivalent out there as old as mine but electrically driven?

Have a look at the Quick range.

I've an 8mm chain, but 65m of that and another 65m of 25mm Octoplait. The current SL works on both and the Quick 1000 seems to be a good replacement.

Price quoted €680, including all switchgear but excluding circuit breaker.
