Attwood Marine Anchor Pulley/Locks
Attwood Marine Anchor Pulley & Lock Systems
Attwood Marine has been a trusted name on the water since 1893, and their approach to anchoring hardware reflects the same no-nonsense, practical engineering that has defined the brand for over a century. Their anchor pulley and lock products are a prime example: purpose-built solutions that take the muscle work out of handling anchors, letting boaters focus on the water instead of wrestling with rope and hardware.
The Lift 'N Lock System: Simple, Effective Anchor Control
Attwood's flagship entry in this category is the Lift 'N Lock Anchor Control system, available in both Standard and Deluxe configurations. The Anchor Lift 'N Lock system is an easy-to-use anchor lift and pulley system that solves one of the most common frustrations on the water: managing anchor line safely and efficiently without leaving the helm area or straining your back.
The Standard Lift 'N Lock is the workhorse of the lineup. It features zinc-plated steel construction, supports anchors up to 20 pounds, uses 1/4-inch to 7/16-inch diameter line, and includes a steel sheave that controls the anchor from any position, with nylon pulleys that resist corrosion and the elements. This makes it an economical yet durable choice for recreational boaters who want reliable anchor management without overcomplicating the process.
For boaters who want a step up in materials, the Deluxe Lift 'N Lock raises the bar. The deluxe anchor control features high-impact reinforced nylon construction, a steel sheave that controls the anchor from any position, and an easy pull-up, lock, and release mechanism. It also incorporates stainless steel shafts for added corrosion resistance — a critical advantage in saltwater environments.
Why Attwood for Anchor Hardware?
For over 100 years, the Attwood Corporation has been a trusted name in the marine industry, providing high-quality boat parts and accessories. From the beginning, Attwood became recognized for quality and fine engineering, with quality control of its marine accessories becoming an Attwood tradition.
Their anchor pulley and lock products carry that same DNA. Attwood utilizes high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials such as 304 and 316 stainless steel, chrome-plated zinc, and durable synthetics across their hardware lines — and the Lift 'N Lock systems reflect this commitment, combining zinc-plated or reinforced nylon bodies with corrosion-resistant nylon pulleys designed to hold up in harsh marine conditions.
Attwood's wide range of products are tested to the highest USCG, ABYC, and CE standards , giving boaters confidence that their anchoring hardware meets rigorous performance and safety benchmarks. Whether you're day-tripping on a freshwater lake or anchoring in coastal saltwater, Attwood's anchor pulley and lock systems provide dependable, repeatable performance season after season.
Who Are These Products For?
Attwood's anchor pulley and lock systems are best suited for smaller to mid-size recreational boats running anchors up to 20 lbs. They are particularly appealing to boaters who want a straightforward mechanical system — no electric motors, no complex installation — just a clean pulley-and-lock mechanism that installs easily on the bow and gives full anchor control from a single point. If you need an affordable, proven solution for solo anchoring, these systems are worth a close look.
