Quick WCSCB20080 anchor and windlass switch

QUICK WCSCB20080 Anchor and Windlass Circuit Breaker Switch | 80A

Ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of your vessel´s anchoring system with the QUICK WCSCB20080 Anchor and Windlass Switch. Engineered as a critical component within the Electronics and Electrical Connections category, this device provides unwavering protection and precise control for your high-demand windlass motor. Designed by Quick, a leader in marine equipment, this thermal circuit breaker is an essential investment for any boater who values peace of mind and the seamless operation of their deck machinery. It masterfully combines the functions of a manual power switch and an automatic safety cut-out into a single, robust, and compact unit.

Unparalleled Safety and Dual-Functionality

The primary benefit of the QUICK WCSCB20080 is its dual-purpose design. It functions as a convenient manual ON/OFF Switch, allowing you to de-energize the windlass circuit at a moment´s notice. This is crucial for preventing accidental anchor deployment, securing the system during maintenance, or simply as a master control. More importantly, it serves as an automatic thermal circuit breaker. In the event of an overcurrent situation—caused by a stalled motor, a snagged anchor, or an electrical fault—the WCSCB20080 will automatically trip, interrupting the power flow. This immediate action protects your expensive windlass motor from catastrophic burnout, prevents overheating of electrical wiring, and significantly reduces the risk of an electrical fire on board.

Engineered for the Marine Environment

Built to withstand the harsh realities of saltwater, sun, and vibration, this circuit breaker switch is a testament to Quick´s commitment to quality. Its construction ensures reliable performance season after season. The front-facing components are designed with a high ingress protection rating, making it suitable for installation on exposed helm stations, dashboards, or electrical panels where it may be subject to spray and moisture. This robust build quality ensures that your primary safety device for the anchoring system will not fail when you need it most.
