Reviews

Designed to automatically drop ground tackle up to six times faster than comparable power-down models, these helm-operated, free-fall windlasses give you remote operation with simple switch activation, eliminating the need to go forward during anchoring. Drive shafts, rope and chain guide systems, and fasteners are stainless steel. Housings are corrosion-resistant marinegrade aluminum with triple-finish nylon coating. Rubberized deck gasket protects your deck. All models handle both rope and chain, with high-test chain and medium-lay nylon rope, such as New England Ropes Premium Three Strand Line required.

Style: Horizontal
Rode Type: Rope/chain
Dimensions: 6-5/16"H x 7"W x 10-9/16"L
Case Material: Nylon-coated aluminum
Capstan/Gypsy Material: Stainless steel
Warranty: Two years on Free-Fall 31; three years on Free-Fall 36/41/46

I stronly recommend that an anchor rode swivel be used in conjuction with this system to keep the rode from twisting on itself and jamming during deployment.
