Powerwinch Class 46 Automatic Free-Fall Windlass

Powerwinch Class 46' Automatic Helm-Operated Free-Fall Windlass is billed as the safest way to anchor, with a free-fall system that deploys anchor rode up to 300 feet per minute — up to four times faster than powering down. It is designed for boaters who want a durable, corrosion-resistant windlass built for years of reliable performance.

An exclusive stainless steel rope and chain guidance system stands up to years of use, while an ultra-smooth motor uses less amperage since free-fall doesn't require battery power, preserving your battery. Durable stainless steel fasteners resist corrosion, watertight seals add further protection, and heat-treated oil-impregnated gear systems deliver smoother operation and longer life. A replaceable Rode-Glide smoothly channels rope and chain below deck, and a tapered back splice ensures a smooth rope-to-chain transition. Browse more options in our anchoring & docking category.
