Why this winch matters in real use\n- Versatility meets simplicity: The 19-location motor mounting and included 100m rope plus 10m chain combo let you adapt to varied boat layouts and installation constraints without buying additional hardware.\n- Time-saving setup: Pre-spooled line means less guesswork and faster deployment when conditions call for quick mooring or quick release in emergencies.\n- Long-term value: Cast alloy brackets, IP66-rated enclosure, and a protective circuit breaker translate into durable performance that stands up to salt, spray, and everyday boating wear. Practical use cases and tips\n- Mooring in tidal slips or sheltered bays: Deploy the drum braid quickly and secure lines with reliable chain sections for extra security on windy days.\n- Anchoring scenarios: Switch between rope and chain as needed for different anchor rodes or anchor types, maintaining control with the up\/down switch and reversing solenoid.\n- Dockside retrievals: With the fast full-drum haul, you can promptly haul in lines from alongside or from a small quay, reducing waiting time and muscle strain.

Designed by Stressfree Marine for reliability and long-term performance, this winch turns a once-tardy chore into a safe, quick, and controlled operation. - Built to last in marine environments: 316-grade stainless steel components, a robust baseplate, and a precision-driven drum system designed to withstand regular saltwater use and heavy loads. The compact design hides a high-torque drive that can handle the toughest anchor duties without crowding your deck.\n- Powerful, efficient performance: a 1700-watt motor delivers steady, responsive rope and chain winding. Normal operation draws 25–30 amps, with underload up to 55 amps. A circuit breaker protects the motor from power overloads (for example, if an anchor snags on the bottom), helping prevent damage and keep you safely on course.\n- Unmatched anchor holding and lifting capability: the Mighty’s hold at anchor reaches up to an impressive 3600 kg, while the lifting capacity reaches up to 350 kg when the drum is in its smaller-diameter configuration. This combination means you can confidently anchor in deeper or tougher conditions and retrieve with minimal effort.\n- Flexible drum and rope options to match your needs: choose from multiple drum capacities to suit your gear and boat size - 170 meters of 8 mm nylon plus 8 meters of 8 mm short-link chain - 130 meters of 10 mm nylon plus 8 meters of 8 mm short-link chain - 100 meters of 12 mm nylon plus 8 meters of 8 mm short-link chain The drum diameter is 400 mm, and the design supports customization to keep a safe clearance between rope and baseplate. The chain length can be lengthened or shortened to fit individual setups.\n- Intelligent mounting versatility: the gearbox mounting holes in the bracket allow installation at four angles to suit various anchor wells, with eight additional adjustment angles at 30° and 45° from the basic positions. This ensures you can tailor the winch to your boat’s layout without compromising function.\n- Safe, reliable operation on the water: a dedicated dual-battery recommendation (with switches on both banks) helps ensure consistent power delivery even when the boat’s electrical load varies. The stress-free design reduces manual handling and minimizes the risk of on-deck accidents during anchoring.\n- Quick setup, fewer surprises: the Mighty is designed for straightforward installation with practical, real-world usage in mind. The system’s strength lies in its ability to handle longer rope lengths and heavier chain loads without compromising control or speed, making it ideal for divers, fishing enthusiasts, and coastal cruisers alike.\n- Practical, real-world use cases: - Coastal cruising and day trips where you need reliable, repeatable anchoring without the effort of hauling a heavy anchor by hand. - Boats approaching the 8–12 metre range where a robust, compact winch reduces anchoring time in variable currents. - Mooring situations where a secure anchor hold and swift recovery are essential for safety and efficiency.\n- Brand you can trust: Stressfree Marine combines engineering discipline with boating know-how to deliver anchoring solutions that perform under pressure, backed by a focus on longevity and user-friendly operation. Specs at a glance\n- Motor: 1700 W\n- Drum diameter: 400 mm\n- Maximum lifting capacity: 350 kg (with smaller drum configuration)\n- Holding capacity at anchor: 3600 kg\n- Electrical: rated to 135 A; normal run 25–30 A; underload up to 55 A\n- Power protection: circuit breaker to guard against overload\n- Baseplate: 316 marine-grade stainless steel\n- Drum capacity options: 170 m of 8 mm nylon + 8 m chain; 130 m of 10 mm nylon + 8 m chain; 100 m of 12 mm nylon + 8 m chain\n- Mounting: four basic angles, plus eight additional 30°\/45° adjustments\n- NZ Code reference: 5-2024 With the StressFree Mighty Anchor Winch, anchoring becomes a precise, controlled routine rather than a physical strain.
