Fast delivery to Greece

Ordering and delivery – as always with SVB – were perfect. Approved for our 13mm ISO chain and delivered with a special capstan. Unfortunately, the deck clearance is a bit tight for this chain size, so the chain keeps jamming when retrieving.

Very satisfied with the service and the windlass

We received the product in time, Koumac New Caledonia, no particular concern on that side. Once installed, the Tigres windlass works perfectly, a real pleasure. A flat for the manufacturer, on the old model, we could pass a socket wrench pipe around the nuts that can tighten the guide on its support. The holes in the back today being closer to the body of the windlass, it became impossible, only a flat key can pass, which is not very practical for a good tightening. It's so narrow that even the washer has to be the size of the nut and no more. Other than that, it's perfect. Good day and thank you SVB!

Exchanging the Tigres 1000W for the new 1500W worked without any problems!

Order, express delivery to Chania on Crete and the installation worked great. I would have imagined that more difficult and complicated.

It is amazing that after more than 30 years this excellent windlass is still made with the same hole pattern and is easily interchangeable. The quality is excellent and with a few improvements even more efficient. \ R \ nThe CD-Rom attached to the windlass was unfortunately not playable on WIN7 / 64, only the hole pattern could be displayed. Otherwise, also by the reliable shipping to Croatia , I am highly satisfied. \ r \ n \ r \ nGerhard Kristen

I bought the windlass as a replacement for my old one. Super quality, delivery without problem, great advice.

by Anonymous 3/13/2014 Verified purchase Variant: 13271

We have finally replaced the old windlass with this marvel of engineering. The previous one - same make and model - still works if you hammer it, despite 20 or 30 years of heavy use (and annual service). The casing finally broke apart and cannot be repaired properly.\r\n\r\nAs I was so impressed with its predecessor\'s performance and resilience, I bought an exact replacement. It\'s slightly bigger and heavier, better engineered, and fits exactly in the existing deck holes.\r\n\r\nComes with a much improved relay too. Very easy to install, good instructions. \r\n\r\nA fantastic and reassuring machine that looks great and in our case, will pull a 100m of 10mm chain up from 25m in a gale and save your boat.

SVB AAA Rating with Complaints

I bought the Tigres winch from Lofrans (24V 1500W) and had it shipped to Trinidad by SVB. Upon arrival, the outer packaging was already soaked with oil, and the winch was leaking oil inside the box. It wasn't damage in transit. SVB immediately sent a replacement winch via UPS Express. The leaking winch was picked up from my ship free of charge. Ten days later, everything was perfect. Many thanks to Mr. Dierks and the complaints team. Norbert K.

Quality products

Nothing to say about the product except the lack of instructions for the assembly and operation of the windlass. Delivery time held. So a majority of positive.

Not as agreed

We had agreed by telephone that the 8 mm chain sprocket would be removed and the chain sprocket 10 mm would be booked for residue and delivered at some point. Now the winch has arrived 8m in its original condition with an 8mm sprocket. should I now sink them in the sea or send them back to Bremen from Greece? It's a shame that individual tel. Agreements and my references to them are simply ignored when ordering and paying online.
