- Rode count display on the handheld unit, plus real-time signal strength and battery level indicators for proactive operation and planning.
- Marine-grade ruggedness – IP67 water resistance, shockproof construction, and rubber moulding for a confident grip and non-slip protection in wet conditions.
- Ergonomic handheld design – Thoughtful ergonomics with a comfortable form factor and wrist strap connector for secure handling during maneuvers.

- Antenna-compatible – Ready to extend range in challenging harbor environments and on larger vessels where deck layout requires flexible placement.
Why this kit is the smart choice for mariners
The AA710 builds on the reliability you expect from AutoAnchor by adding expanded control options and robust marine resilience. It eliminates tangled cockpit wiring, reducing installation time and maintenance while opening new possibilities like wire-free management of multiple windlasses and ancillary functions. The combination of battery-powered handheld control and IP67-rated hardware means you can depend on dependable operation in salt air, spray, and rain—season after season.
Use cases and real-world scenarios
- Docking and anchoring with hands-free convenience: deploy or retrieve the anchor and manage chain with a simple press from anywhere on the foredeck.
- Night operations: deck lights and anchor wash can be controlled remotely for safer visibility and cleaner deployment in low light.
- Multi-windlass configurations: if your vessel uses more than one windlass, pair a second base station and control both windlasses from a single handheld remote.
- Bow thruster integration: for precise positioning and maneuvering in tight harbors, use the bow thruster control option from the same remote.
Who this kit is ideal for
Boat owners and captains who want precise, secure, and flexible windlass control without running extra wiring around the deck. It suits sailors, motorboat owners, and anyone upgrading an existing windlass system to wireless operation while maintaining the ability to add bow thruster, deck lighting, or anchor wash features as needed.
Installation and setup tips
- Place the base station in a dry, elevated location near the windlass for optimal line-of-sight and reliable signal reception.
- Mount the sensor and magnets according to the included diagrams to ensure accurate rode counting and status feedback on the handheld display.
- Use two base stations only if you intend to control two windlasses; otherwise, a single base station keeps the setup compact and straightforward.
- Keep the handheld remote within its line of sight during critical operations, and monitor the handheld's battery level for uninterrupted performance.
