Windlass Repair

Reviewed by Lloyd T. in Northridge, Ca on 04/23/2018

I recently took a "frozen" anchor windlass to Wayne Electric for repairs which the rep assured me they could handle. They were able to unfreeze the gears and shaft and get the unit working, but I needed to have the unit disassembled in order to reinstall it through the small opening available in my deck. I have returned the unit to Wayne Electric twice because they did not remove the corrosion which kept an extension collar from separating from the gear box, thus preventing reinstallation. I asked that the technician disassemble the unit and leave the collar free from the gear box so I could install it properly. However this was not done and the collar is still frozen to the gear box. Since I have already invested considerable time and money in this repair, I am getting ready to send it back for the fourth attempt to correct the problem. I do not recommend Wayne Electric for service on electric anchor windlasses. L.A. Turner

I couldn't be happier with the guys at Wayne Electric in Long Beach and the service I received for the electrical starting system for my boat (Skip Jack 24). They are marine starter & alternator specialists and only a 30 minute drive from Newport Beach or Huntington Beach. Well worth the drive.
