Powerwinch Class 46 Automatic Free-Fall Windlass

The Powerwinch Class 46 Automatic Helm-Operated Free-Fall Windlass is built as the safest way to anchor, dropping the anchor at up to 300 feet per minute, as much as four times faster than a standard power-down windlass.

An exclusive stainless steel rope and chain guidance system stands up to years of use, and the ultra-smooth motor draws less current since free-fall doesn't need battery power at all, preserving your battery for everything else on board.
