Auto Anchor is a division of Kiwi Yachting, a New Zealand company, that has been providing the marine industry with quality products since 1988. Auto Anchor was purchased from RMSD in 2011, an innovative electronic and software control solutions developer.

The original Auto Anchor was designed over 30 years ago and Auto Anchor chain counters (rode counters) and windlass controllers are now found on yachts and launches worldwide. Our experience in design, combined with our quality control systems ensure that Auto Anchor products are exceptionally robust and reliable. Compatible with any windlass, Auto Anchors are the specified rode counters for Maxwell, Muir and Lewmar windlasses.

Whatever your needs, there’s an Auto Anchor solution for you. Whether it’s the 60mm panel mount counter or the black box module that seamlessly integrates with your onboard computer, we’ve got you covered. Plus, our AA710 wireless remote offers one-touch automatic control of the windlass, allowing you to deploy or retrieve a preset length of rode with ease. The AA700 series can also manage thrusters and other marine equipment, providing versatile and reliable functionality.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand where boating and anchoring is a way of life. Auto Anchor.
