Powerwinch Sport Fishing Winch- P77727

Powerwinch Sport Fish 450, Free-Fall Anchor Windlass

Automatic Helm-Operated Free-Fall Windlass For The Safest Way To Anchor!

The Powerwinch Sport Fishing Winch- P77727 is a high-performance horizontal anchor winch designed specifically for sport fishing boats up to 27 feet in length. It utilizes an advanced free-fall mechanism that deploys anchors up to four times faster than standard power-down models. This allows fishermen to lock over target structures instantly without drifting out of position.

Benefits of Free-Fall over Power-Down:

• Free-Fall System anchors up to 300'/min - Up to four times faster than powering down
• Exclusive stainless-steel rope & chain guidance system - Durable materials stand up to years of use
• Ultra smooth motor uses less amps - Free-fall does not need battery power, so it preserves your battery
• Built with durable stainless-steel fasteners - Resists corrosion for easy removal
• Watertight seals - For additional protection against corrosion
• One piece motor plate - For smooth power transmission & improved gear life
• Heat treated oil-impregnated gear systems -Smoother operation, resists corrosion, lasts longer
• Stainless steel drive shafts - For years of smooth, reliable performance
• Replaceable Rode-Glide - Smoothly channels rope and chain below deck
• Use tapered back splice - For smooth rope-to-chain transition

Durable Marine-Grade Construction

• Corrosion Resistance: Built with heavy-duty stainless steel drive shafts, fasteners, and a rope/chain guidance system to withstand years of harsh saltwater exposure.
• Watertight Engineering: Features specialized watertight seals and a heat-treated, oil-impregnated gear system for extended internal component life.
• Battery Protection: Free-fall operation drops the anchor entirely via gravity, requiring zero battery power and preserving your vessel's electrical reserves.
• Smooth Transitions: Utilizes an engineered resin, replaceable Rode-Glide along with a tapered back splice to smoothly transition the line below deck without snagging.

Operation and Safety

• One-Touch Deployment: Easily deploy the anchor by depressing the helm-mounted rocker switch down for 5 seconds to initiate the free-fall.
• Automatic Stop: The free-fall system stops feeding line automatically the moment the anchor hits the bottom, preventing nested tangles on your deck.
• Electrical Protection: Comes equipped with a standard 25 Amp auto-reset thermal circuit breaker to prevent motor overloads.
