A windlass for a boat has an electric motor and drive gears mounted to a base. A chainwheel is mounted on a shaft extending through a divider plate. The chainwheel has a first portion and an opposite second portion joined for rotation in unison, and forming an annular groove adapted to engage an anchor rode. First and second clutch disks frictionally engage the chainwheel to transmit torque. A nut threaded onto the shaft end retains the clutch disks and the chainwheel on the shaft. The nut allows selective adjustment of the frictional engagement of the clutch. A stripper plate helps to transmit pulling forces from the rode to the base, reducing radial forces on the shaft, and also serves to strip the rode from engagement with the chainwheel. First and second arcuate members having first and second opposed, coextensive, arcuate grooves are mounted on the divider plate. A retainer is disposed across the chainwheel annular groove, for pressing the rode into the chainwheel annular groove, to retain the rode on the chainwheel. The retainer has upper and lower trunnions that slide in the first and second arcuate grooves toward the slack portion of the rode. A leaf spring will bias the retainer against the rode. A funnel directs the rode downward into the boat. |
