Anchormax Capstan: Compact Vertical Electric Winch for Boats

The Anchormax Capstan is a compact, high‑power vertical capstan and general‑purpose electric winch designed for small to mid‑sized boats. It delivers dependable rope and line handling without crowding the deck, making anchor rode management and docking easier. Built to endure salt spray and marine conditions, this winch brings precision control to every maneuver on the water.

Smart design for real‑world boating

Vertical, space‑saving construction minimizes intrusion below decks, letting you fit it into modern berths and cockpit layouts while preserving valuable deck space. Its modular through‑deck installation and precise gearbox alignment support a wide range of configurations, including horizontal mounting as a pot haulier or a davit winch. The snag‑free, fluted warping drum ensures smooth paying‑in and paying‑out from any direction, protecting rope wear and delivering predictable, reliable operation every time.

Rugged, marine‑grade build

Engineered for tough saltwater environments, the Anchormax Capstan features a robust marine‑grade gearbox and gear housing. Key components include a stainless steel drum, and corrosion‑resistant materials designed to endure long seasons on the water. A fully sealed gearbox with an anodized aluminum housing (where applicable) keeps moisture out, so performance stays consistent even in spray and spray day conditions.
