Admiral Exclusive | Free Fall System

The Admiral Series includes a standard gravity-assisted Free Fall System not available on any other series in the lineup. Unlike the brake-assisted Fast Fall upgrade available on the Captain Series, the Admiral Free Fall uses pure gravity with no braking resistance, delivering dramatically faster and more efficient anchor deployment. A hard press on the rocker switch releases the anchor into a true free fall, sending it to depth faster than any motorized deployment can achieve.

No-Brake Gravity Drop

Pure gravity deployment with zero braking resistance for maximum descent speed.

Rocker Switch Activation

A hard press on the rocker switch instantly releases the anchor into free fall.

Admiral Series Only

Standard on every Admiral HD unit. Not available on Sailor or Captain series.

What Makes the HD Different

SS2205 Duplex U-Frame

U-frame material thickness has been increased and upgraded to SS2205 duplex stainless, a higher-grade alloy delivering superior strength and durability over standard 316 SS.

Welded Frame Corners

All frame corners are fully welded for maximum structural rigidity, eliminating flex points and providing increased resistance to stress under heavy load.

SS2205 Upgraded Shafts

Shafts are now manufactured from SS2205 for higher tensile strength and dramatically improved corrosion resistance compared to standard shaft materials.

Optimized Drum Geometry

Drum diameter has been reduced while increasing drum length to lower no-tie-off torque load, reducing stress on the motor and drivetrain during deployment and retrieval.

Widened Bolt Pattern

The bolt pattern has been widened to distribute mounting loads more evenly, improving deck stability and providing additional structural support under dynamic conditions.

Wireless Control Box + 2 Fobs

Full wireless control is included as standard on HD models, not an add-on. The control box and two key fobs are ready to use straight out of the box.

316 SS Construction, IP68 Rated

The 316 stainless steel spool and base plate are built to endure the most demanding saltwater environments. Patented internal condensation mitigation prevents moisture buildup inside the motor housing, protecting electronics from corrosion over time. IP68-rated waterproofing ensures reliable performance under complete submersion conditions.

Emergency Drive Key Release

An emergency drive key release ensures you can still operate the winch and deploy anchor line in the event of power loss or electrical issues. Whether for small recreational boats or commercial vessels up to 55 feet, the Admiral Series delivers the strength, speed, and reliability demanded by serious mariners.
