Powerwinch Class 41 Free-Fall Anchor Windlass

Fastest way to anchor - Anchor drops up to four times faster! Easiest way to anchor - Free-Fall stops when the anchor has reached bottom - Rope does not collect on your deck while you waste time and effort powering down. Easiest to use - just hold the helm switch for only five seconds to release free-fall, versus one to three minutes powering down. Safety - Allows you to anchor quickly in poor conditions. Precise anchoring location - Anchor your boat where you want it to be, unlike powering down where your boat will drift while you power down.

Powerwinch offers durable and smooth Free-Fall Anchor Windlass. Their free fall system allows the anchor to fall at a rate of up to 300' per minute. Easily four time faster than powering down. The gear systems are oil impregnated with heat treated oil. Stainless steel drive shafts give years of smooth and reliable performance. A tapered splice is ideal for smooth rope-to-chain transition. The motor plate is made of one piece which provides improved gear life and and smooth power transmission. The smooth motor uses less amps by not needing the battery power during free-fall. Watertight sealed stainless sealed fasteners are easy to remove and have excellent corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Powerwinch Class 41 Free-Fall Anchor Windlass designed for?

The Powerwinch Class 41 Free-Fall Anchor Windlass is designed for fast boat anchoring with a free-fall system that allows the anchor to drop at up to 300 feet per minute. Free-fall does not require battery power, while the windlass provides powered retrieval at 75 feet per minute.

How does the free-fall system work on the Powerwinch Class 41?

To activate free-fall, hold the helm switch for approximately five seconds. The anchor then drops rapidly without powering the rope down, helping you reach your anchoring location more quickly. The free-fall system stops when the anchor reaches the bottom.

What rope and chain sizes are used with the Powerwinch Class 41 Free-Fall Anchor Windlass?

The Class 41 uses 5/8-inch Powerwinch Premium Medium Lay Nylon rope with 5/16-inch Hi-test ACCO G4 chain. A tapered back splice is specified to provide a smooth transition between the rope and chain.
