## What is Smart Windlass?

The Smart Windlass app is an advanced control system designed for windlass motors and their peripherals on boats.
Its key advantage is that it connects in parallel with your existing windlass control unit, without removing or disabling it. This allows you to safely use both systems on the same windlass.
During anchoring, the system detects overloads, automatically stops the motor when necessary, and provides you with the essential data for the safest anchoring experience. As a result, it not only increases safety but also extends the lifespan of your equipment.
Key Features:
* Parallel connection without removing the existing control system
* Automatic stop mechanism during overloads
* Safety and performance alerts while anchoring
* Smarter, safer, and more reliable anchoring operations
Enhance your boating safety and comfort with Smart Windlass – your reliable anchoring companion!
