| MUIR HORIZONTAL WINDLASSES - The powerful Muir range of horizontal windlasses
provides the perfect alternative to vertical models for all recreational, commercial
and fishing vessels up to 82 feet (25 metres). The Muir series of horizontal windlasses
are ideal for installations where chain locker space is at a premium or not easily
accessible. These complete above deck units are constructed from durable marine
alloy housings enclosing the powerful and heavy duty motor and gearbox, waterproofing
and protecting it from the harsh elements. All running gear is designed for durability
and performance, manufactured from marine grade bronze with luxury chrome or optional
traditional polished bronze finish. The Muir series incorporates many of the innovative
features available across the vertical Atlantic range.
ROPE CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RCMS) - All Muir models can be used with
rope-chain anchor rodes. The Rope Chain Management System (RCMS) facilitates smooth
rope-chain operation and is available by replacing a standard chain pipe with the
RCMS unit. RCMS incorporates a spring loaded finger arrangement fitted to separate
chain pipe to follow and pass through automatically. A stripper/peeler assembly
fits around the gypsy hub to prevent the rope from jamming and facilitates a smooth
vertical drop into the chain locker. RCMS is an integrated and standard unit on
the HR600 and HR700 and should be considered for all Muir models where rope-chain
combination is being utilized.
INDEPENDENT ROPE CAPSTAN OPERATION - Most Muir models feature a knurled
capstan that can be operated independently of the gypsy/chain wheel for line handling
or auxiliary purposes.
MANUAL OPERATION - Manual operation is standard on all models from HR1200
to HR4200, ensuring complete backup should battery power fail or an emergency situation
prevail.
EASE OF INSTALLATION - Installation of the Muir horizontal windlass is
quick and simple with no separate drive assembly to be mounted below deck.
PERFORMANCE - Operational performance of the Muir horizontal windlass
is further enhanced by the high vertical drop to the chain locker and the 90 degree
wrap of chain and rope on the gypsy that provides quick and trouble free deployment
and retrieval.
AUTOMATIC FREEFALL - Muir's range of windlasses includes automatic freefall
models. These windlasses provide AUTOMATIC and rapid free fall with a simple flick
of a switch from the helm. The freefall can be interrupted at any stage. Ideal for
single-handed boating, fishing, or for vessels with inaccessible foredecks. AND
MORE - The Muir range is available in 12 and 24 volt and hydraulic options. AhoyCaptain
offers a full range of accessories to suit the Muir models including electric controls,
chain, rope, anchors, anchor rollers and chain stoppers. Refer to the
