Lofrans Progress 889 Pivot Finger

The Lofrans Pivot Finger #889 is a critical replacement component for the historic “Progress 1” series anchor windlasses made by Lofrans. This part is used in the pressure-finger assembly that ensures reliable chain or rope engagement when deploying or retrieving the anchor rode.

For Irish owners, refitters or maintenance teams servicing older Progress 1 windlasses, replacing a worn or broken pivot finger - part number 889 - restores correct function and performance. With anchor systems subjected to saltwater, heavy loads and repeated use in Irish coastal and offshore conditions, keeping this part in good order helps avoid mis-feeds, jamming or undue wear. According to the parts manual for Progress 1, item “889. Pivot” is listed in the exploded view of the finger assembly.

By using a genuine Lofrans spare part, you maintain the integrity of the windlass system, support proper alignment of the finger assembly and help ensure your anchoring system remains safe and reliable in Irish waters.
