A chain-counter allows the scope of chain/rope to be more accurately measured, ensuring quicker, safer anchoring under any conditions
The AA560 Deluxe Chain Counter controls the windlass from the helm station and shows at a glance how much anchor rode is deployed.

This counter can be used with any DC electric windlass (not just Lewmar's) which uses an all-chain or a rope/chain rode. It can also be used with hydraulic or AC windlasses using all-chain rodes.
For data at a second (helm) station, you can install a second AA560 unit, or link it with the smaller AA150.

The chain counter comes with a reed switch sensor (installed in the windlass body) and a magnet (installed on the gypsy). Some Lewmar windlasses come with a reed switch pre-installed, in which case, you can keep the one that comes with the counter as a spare.
