Stressfree Mighty Anchor Winch - Free Fall is built for serious marine use, delivering seamless anchor retrieval on boats 10 metres and larger. This compact, purpose-built drum winch combines rugged construction with intelligent design to make mooring and anchoring safer, faster, and less physically demanding.

What sets the Free Fall apart is its combination of power, durability, and adaptability. The NG Series Mighty Standard Drum Winch houses a robust 1700‑watt motor and a full 316 marine-grade stainless steel build. The baseplate is an 8mm stainless steel frame, welded for rigidity, ensuring dependable performance in saltwater environments and with heavy anchoring loads.

Key advantages that matter on the water

• Powerful, efficient propulsion. A 1700W motor drives reliable anchor deployment and retrieval, while smart electrical design keeps energy use predictable at 25–30A during normal operation and up to 55A under load.
• Ultra-durable, corrosion-resistant construction. All components in 316 marine-grade stainless steel stand up to waves, spray, and long seasons at sea.
• Versatile drum and mounting flexibility. Drum diameter of 400mm delivers strong winching torque with controlled rope take-up. The gearbox mounting holes allow installation at four angles, with eight additional adjustment angles at 30° and 45° for perfect compatibility with varied anchor wells.
• High holding and lifting capacity. The unit provides up to 350 kg lifting capacity when the drum diameter is small, and an impressive 3600 kg holding capacity at the anchor, giving you a wide margin for heavy-duty mooring scenarios.
• Smart overload protection. A circuit breaker protects the motor; if the anchor becomes stuck, the breaker trips to prevent electrical damage. Use dual batteries with the battery switch on both for uninterrupted operation.

Drum capacity options tailored to your setup

• 170 metres of 8mm nylon plus 8 metres of 8mm short link chain
• 130 metres of 10mm nylon plus 8 metres of 8mm short link chain
• 100 metres of 12mm nylon plus 8 metres of 8mm short link chain

Note: The length of chain can be adjusted to suit your boat’s anchor well configuration. When shortening or lengthening chain, ensure the rope-to-baseplate clearance is maintained to avoid interference with the drum or mounting.

Easy installation and reliable operation

The gear mounting system supports direct, stable installation and is designed for deck mounting on a wide range of boats. The Free Fall feature enables smooth, controlled anchor retrieval with minimal manual effort, so you can focus on navigation and safety rather than wrestling with heavy gear.

• Plan rope/chain length based on your typical anchor depth and water conditions to maintain safe clearance between the chain and baseplate.
