Full control
Lightweight compact model, weighing only 19 kg! A windlass that makes anchoring as easy as possible for everyone on board and is ideal for solo trips. You manage the anchoring process easily and smoothly from the driver's seat using the decoupling function. With the optional radio control, you can adjust your anchorage exactly to the centimeter (even from the shore), tensioning or releasing.
Quiet, smooth & compact
The drive motor is located in the belt drum, providing a quiet operation and isolating it from external influences. You don't need a drop or collection box for the belt because the rope driver guides the belt directly onto the drum, eliminating tangles and making the game space efficient.
Advantages of tapes
The strap is made of durable polyester and impregnated against water absorption. Comfortable to handle. Its breaking strength is 3 tons (stronger than an 8 mm chain). The wide surface of the strap provides a cushioning effect in the water, which in turn provides a spring effect when anchoring and mooring.
Mechanical decoupling
Completely mechanical release without electronics. Can with a simple manual grip release/lock the coupling on the windlass in case of a power failure. Power failure.
Low power consumption
Thanks to the drive, which has a 90% efficiency (compared to a traditional worm gear with only half the efficiency), this windlass has much higher traction in relation to the engine power, making the windlass extremely power efficient.
Car stop
With the automatic stop function, the anchor first stops in wash mode to rinse off the anchor if dirt is trapped and then crawls with greatly reduced power to park mode, where it stops automatically.
Digital calculator
With the digital counter on the DWR panel, you can check from the driver's seat that the anchor is deployed properly, and you can see how many meters of line are out when you come in to shore. Even when you winch the anchor in, the display shows you when the anchor comes up against the boat and you can prepare for departure, making for safer handling.
