Recommended applications

The Quick DP1 512 is suitable for systems on mooring and anchoring on boats of sizes compatible with the manufacturer's indications. In particular, the documentation reports a typical use on boats from 16 to 28 ft (also referring to the range 5–8.5 m for the 500 W 12 V version).

It is a suitable solution when you want:

• a vertical windlass to optimize deck space;
• anchor management with manual free fall;
• an orderly provision for chain counter thanks to integrated sensor and magnet;
• a winch designed with materials suitable for use in a marine environment.

Advantages for installation and use on board

Vertical format: freer deck

The configuration vertical (without drum) is often chosen to maintain a clean line at the bow and to manage anchoring with a compact installation. It is a practical solution when you want to integrate the winch without burdening the work area with unnecessary external components.

More controlled chain management

The presence of sensor and magnet integrated facilitates integration with a system of chain counter (when provided in the system), making it easier to monitor the chain during maneuvers. The right descent is an important detail to consider when choosing to ensure consistency with the arrangement of the chain and the locker.

Materials and protection for marine environment

The use of AISI 316 and anodized aluminum is oriented towards resistance to the corrosion typical of the nautical environment. The IP66 motor adds a level of protection useful in installations exposed to splashes and demanding operating conditions.

Complete equipment to start with the installation

The supply with solenoid unit and mounting hardware helps to set up an installation consistent with the manufacturer's instructions. The inspection cover and the clutch handle support the control and management operations of the winch over time.

Usage and important notes

Check compatibility before purchase

Before choosing the winch, it is advisable to check:

• that the chain on board is actually of 6 mm and consistent with the indications (e.g. DIN 766 or other types reported by the manufacturer);
• the availability of space for a vertical winch and the correct management of the chain drop in the locker;
• the consistency of the electrical system with 12 V and with the use of the contactor group included;
• the orientation of the right descent relative to the bow configuration.

Boat sizing guidelines

The reference tables show a typical use for boats from 16 to 28 ft. As indicated by the manufacturer, suitability may vary depending on the type of boat and the anchor/chain system used. In case of doubt, it is advisable to compare the actual anchoring system configuration with Quick's technical guidelines.

Note on sprocket and joint tables

The tables provided by the manufacturer refer to specific configurations and, where indicated, to a rope/chain joint made with the Quick system. If the system uses different components, it is advisable to verify the chain compatibility and the coupling with the sprocket.
