WELL SEE HOW LONG THIS STAYS UP HERE BEFORE SOMEONE SELLING ANCHOR WINCHES REPORTS THIS.  SAME THING HAPPENED WITH MOTORHOME INVERTERS.  WHY PAY BIG BUCKS FOR AN ANCHOR WINCH WHEN YOU CAN PURCHASS A LOW DOLLAR TOW WINCH FOR A BUY IT NOW OF 45 DOLLARS OR LESS.  EASY TO MOUNT TO THE FRONT OF YOUR BOAT, JUST REWIRE IT WITH A TWO BLOW TWO THROW SWITCH OR A PAIR OF SOLANOIDS.  THE BLACK BULKY ONE THATS NO GOOD FOR WINCHING A CAR UP ON A TRAILER WOULD BE IDEAL TO MOUNT TO THE FRONT OF YOUR BOAT.  YOU COULD EVEN RUN IT THRU A PAIR OF DOUBLE BACK PULLEYS (BLOKS TO UTILISE A HEAVIER ANCHOR.  GO DO A SEARCH ON THESE ITEMS AND THATS ALL THERE USING.  I'M MOUNTING MINE ON THE FRONT OF MY BOAT.  THEY WILL HOLD AT LEAST A 100 FOOT OF NYLON ROPE AND KEEP IT SAFE FROM THE SUN THEN USE CHAIN FOR THE PART THAT STICKS OUT.  I'M ALL ABOUT SAVING MONEY
