Unlike power-down windlasses, the 77741 drops anchor by freefall at up to 250 feet per minute, which is up to four times faster than powering down, and the drop stops automatically once the anchor reaches bottom so rope does not pile up on deck. To release freefall, the operator simply holds the helm switch for about five seconds, compared to the one to three minutes typical of power-down anchoring. Because the anchor drops almost immediately, boaters can set anchor at a precise location instead of drifting while waiting for a power-down cycle to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetrieval runs at 80 feet per minute with a rated pulling power of 775 pounds, drawing an average of 8 to 12 amps during retrieval so it is easier on the battery than a comparable power-down unit. The windlass is built around an electro-plated stainless steel rope and chain guidance system with stainless steel drive shafts and fasteners, plus watertight seals for corrosion resistance. A replaceable Rode-Glide, made of engineered resin, smoothly channels rope and chain below deck and can be swapped out as it wears rather than replacing the whole unit. Helm operation is via a rocker-style control switch. The windlass is sized for 1\/2-inch Powerwinch premium medium-lay nylon line and 1\/4-inch Hi-test ACCO G4 chain, and is backed by a 3-year warranty.\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 77741\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal freefall anchor windlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat Class:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36-foot class, boats up to 41 feet\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\u003eFreefall Anchoring Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 250 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\u003eCompatible Rodes (sold separately):\u003c\/strong\u003e P10293-P10296\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 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\u003eInstall Kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e P55800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired Wire Size to Battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 gauge for runs up to 50 feet;
