Hi mate, the slide won't become an issue as it's very unlikely for the boat to drift bang centre over the anchor. On top of that we have a SS Locking pin designed for overnighters if needed as well. This will turn the anchor into a fixed shaft.

Hi mate, give us a call or shoot an email over to info@savwinch.com and we are more than happy to assist.

@savwinchanchorwinches excellent. Am a little ashamed to note that I did some further research today and actually ran my anchor winch for 10 sec and measured the length of chain that it released and it was no where near as much chain as I'd been allowing for so the main issue would appear that I didn't have enough chain out which would have made things far worse.

Correct, if it's rough seas especially. In this case it is wise not to do so as it's not the best idea to anchor out at sea in rough conditions with no battery power. If it's calm at sea, the release feature is great! Just take load off the winch and away you go. Luckily you shouldn't ever have to use this feature.

Not the best idea to anchor in rough conditions with no battery power? So it’s better to have no anchor at all? This is nuts. Regretting getting one of these, may as well go back to a manual anchor and an electric motor with spot lock. At least then if the worst should happen and I lose power then at least I can anchor until help arrives.

All comes down to the conditions.
