The Deckmate 25 Free Fall Pontoon Windlass assists in the launching and retrieving of a
"mushroom" or "river" style anchor typically used on pontoon boats. This windlass has the capacity to
lift up to a fi fty pound anchor and the patented free fall feature gives it the ability to drop and set the
anchor in a fraction of the time that it takes a traditional power down windlass. The built in light
assists retrieving anchors and launching or retrieving the boat at night.
