Unlike a power-down windlass, the 77736 releases the anchor in true free-fall, dropping it up to 250 feet per minute so it reaches the bottom in seconds rather than the one to three minutes a power-down unit takes. The operator simply holds the helm switch for five seconds to release free-fall; the system then stops automatically once the anchor reaches the ocean or lake floor, so rope does not pile up on deck while you wait. This lets you set the anchor at a precise spot instead of drifting while a power-down anchor slowly lowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe windlass uses an electro-plated stainless steel rope and chain guidance system with stainless steel drive shafts, stainless steel fasteners, and watertight seals to resist corrosion. A replaceable Rode-Glide, made of engineered resin, smoothly channels the rope and chain below deck and can be swapped out as it wears. The motor is designed to draw fewer amps than a comparable power-down anchor windlass during the free-fall process, helping preserve battery charge, and retrieves the anchor at 80 feet per minute. Internal gearing is heat-treated and oil-impregnated for smoother, longer-lasting operation. The unit ships with a rocker-style helm control switch and is rated for 1\/2-inch Powerwinch premium medium-lay nylon rope and 1\/4-inch Hi-test ACCO G4 chain, with a rated pulling power of 775 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerwinch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77736\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat Class:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchoring Speed (Free-Fall):\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 250 feet per minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetrieval Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 feet per minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePulling Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 775 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch, Powerwinch premium medium-lay nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch, Hi-test ACCO G4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope and Chain System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electro-plated stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRode-Glide Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered resin, replaceable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelm-Operated Control Switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rocker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAverage Amp Draw (Retrieval):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 to 12 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired Wire Size to Battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 gauge for a 50-foot run;
