Description
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.
Unpacking
When unpacking, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Make sure any loose
