Built To Track Every Metre

A winch counter helps you set your anchor depth consistently and bring it back in without second-guessing. But it matters which type you're buying. A drum winch counter (also called a drum anchor winch counter) is designed specifically for drum winches, counting rope/chain movement off the drum so you can track how much you've deployed and use it as an anchor depth marker on the water. That's different to an anchor chain counter used on a windlass. Windlass counters measure chain passing over the gypsy, which is great for windlasses, but if you run a drum winch, choosing a drum-specific counter is the most reliable way to get an accurate anchor depth marker without mismatched hardware.

Know Your Scope

Stop guessing how much chain or rope is out. The counter reads it straight off the drum winch and puts the figure on screen.

HD Colour Display

A bright, colour screen shows length out at a glance, even from the helm.

Fits Most Drum Winches

Built for Savwinch drum winches, with compatibility across most other drum winch systems too.

Auto-Retrieve Technology

Set a pre-set depth and the counter's auto-retrieve function brings the anchor back to it at the touch of a button.

12V/24V, Low Draw

Runs off either a 12V or 24V system, drawing under 60mA with the screen on and under 40mA at idle, so it won't drain your battery.

It's built for Savwinch drum winches, but compatibility varies with other drum winch systems.

Do I need one?

If you want repeatable anchoring, quicker resets, and a clearer depth reference, yes.
