Powerwinch Freefall Anchor Windlass 36' Class

Product Description Automatic Helm-Operated Free-Fall Windlass Amazon.com Free-fall anchors offer several advantages over power-down models: They drop up to four times faster, they stop when the anchor has reached bottom, and they allow you to quickly anchor in poor conditions. Enter the Windlass 36 free-fall anchor, a patented anchor system that drops up to 250 feet per minute. Built for 36-foot class boats, the Windlass 36 sports an exclusive stainless-steel rope and chain guidance design, with durable stainless-steel fasteners and watertight seals that resist corrosion and stand up to years of use. The ultra-smooth motor, meanwhile, uses fewer amps than power-down anchors, helping preserve your battery life during the battery-free free-fall process. And thanks to the heat-treated, oil-impregnated gear structure, the Windlass 36 runs smoother and lasts longer than most of its competitors. The Windlass 36 is a breeze to use: just hold the helm switch for five seconds to release free-fall, as opposed to one to three minutes when using a power-down anchor. By dropping almost immediately, the Windlass 36 also lets you anchor in a precise location, so you won't drift to a new spot while waiting for the anchor to activate. And free-fall anchoring truly is the easiest way to anchor, as the free-fall stops when the anchor reaches the ocean or lake floor. No more letting rope collect on your deck while you waste time and effort powering down. Other features include stainless-steel drive shafts; a replaceable Rode-Glide that smoothly channels the rope and chain below the deck; and a safety-conscious design.
