Common Question of Lofrans Project 500
What chain fits Project 500?
The Lofrans Project 500 is listed with a 1/4-inch HT gypsy and a 500-watt, 12V motor. Confirm chain grade, link profile, rope compatibility, battery capacity, breaker rating, deck thickness, controls, and anchor rode compatibility before installing this electric anchor windlass.
What does low profile mean?
Low profile describes the Project 500’s compact above-deck windlass arrangement. Confirm available deck space, motor access, chain fall, locker clearance, mounting footprint, and rode alignment before installation. A low-profile design still requires correct electrical protection and safe marine anchor retrieval procedures.
What voltage does it use?
The Project 500 is specified for 12V operation. Confirm battery capacity, cable gauge, circuit breaker, switch arrangement, grounding, charging system, and motor connections before wiring. Correct electrical protection supports dependable operation and helps prevent voltage drop during anchor deployment and recovery.
