AnchorLift Barracuda 600 Vertical Windlass, 1/4 Inch Chain, 1/2 Inch Rope, 12V

The AnchorLift Barracuda 600 Vertical Windlass is a low profile anchor windlass built for boats in the 20 foot to 30 foot range, with a rated capacity for boats weighing up to 8,800 lbs. Constructed with 316L stainless steel components, the Barracuda 600 delivers a smooth, quiet retrieve while keeping deck clutter to a minimum, reducing tripping hazards compared to bulkier windlass designs. It runs on a 12V electrical system powered by a 1000 Watt motor, drawing 18 Amps on the way down and 47 Amps on the way up, and is protected by an 80 Amp circuit breaker.

The windlass can be run as a rope/chain combination or as a chain only setup, handling chain up to 1/4 inch and rope up to 1/2 inch, with a rated chain length of 98 feet to 165 feet. A manual free fall feature paired with an adjustable clutch allows a high speed drop of up to 115 feet per minute, while retrieval speed reaches up to 85 feet per minute. Maximum working load is rated at 397 lbs, with a maximum power pull of 1,190 lbs, and it is designed to work with anchors in the 13 lb to 22 lb range and a total ground tackle weight of 132 lbs. Installation calls for a deck thickness of 3/4 inch to 1.5 inches and 2-4 AWG cable. The unit ships complete with the windlass unit, motor and gearbox, solenoid, circuit breaker, handle, gear box backing plate, EPDM base gasket, thread locker, hardware, and a mounting template.
