Helm-Mounted Windlass Control with Rode Counter
The Lewmar AA560 gives you complete windlass control from your helm station, with a real-time display showing exactly how much anchor rode is deployed at any moment. No more guessing, no more counting shackles — just precise, confident anchoring from the comfort of your helm.
The one-touch automatic function lets you pre-set a rode length for deployment or retrieval, so the windlass does the work while you focus on positioning the boat. A docking alarm and pre-set stopping point add an extra layer of safety, preventing over-deployment or accidental over-retrieval.
Compatible with DC, AC, and hydraulic windlasses, the AA560 is a versatile fit for a wide range of installations. Up to two AA560 units can be installed for dual-station control, and it integrates with the AA150, AA710, and AA300 series for multi-station setups across larger vessels.

Parts Desk Insights
Best suited for cruisers and liveaboards who anchor frequently and want precise rode management from the helm — particularly valuable on larger vessels where the bow is far from the helm station. A strong upsell for any windlass sale, especially for customers upgrading to a new windlass who want a complete, integrated anchoring system. Confirm windlass type (DC, AC, or hydraulic) and whether the customer needs single or dual-station control before recommending additional units or companion AA-series controllers.
