The Reliable TMQ i@nchor BlackBox
The TMQ i@nchor BlackBox is an advanced glass bridge windlass control system developed for commercial vessels, superyachts, and premium recreational boats. Unlike traditional helm-mounted controllers, the BlackBox integrates directly with compatible Raymarine Glass Bridge displays or web-based interfaces, providing complete anchor control without a dedicated display head.
Supporting dual-anchor installations, synchronised anchor deployment, Ethernet, NMEA 2000 and IEC 61162 communications, the BlackBox is designed for sophisticated marine electrical systems. Optional Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) output allows integration with larger electric or hydraulic windlass systems.
Built for professional marine environments, the BlackBox delivers intelligent automation, automatic anchor deployment, emergency stop protection, and advanced networking for modern bridge systems.
