Pros
  • Free fall from the helm drops the anchor without using battery power
  • Draws only 8 to 12 A on retrieval
  • Sits on deck, so no below deck motor space is needed
Cons
  • Two year warranty
  • Housing isn’t stainless, only the guides, shafts and fasteners
  • Needs a spliced 1/2 in rope and 1/4 in chain rode to suit it
