About product
A marine electric anchor capstan is a machine used for mooring and anchoring tasks on ships and boats. It consists of a mooring head and a gypsy designed for anchor chains ranging from 16mm to 60mm. Driven by an electric motor, the ship capstan can be deck-mounted or thru-deck-mounted. Unlike an anchor winch, it has a single drum for rotating and winding the anchor line, without storing it on the drum. The ship capstan controls the release and paying out of the line attached to the anchor.
