I don't usually see people struggle when it's wide open like that. It's when it's busy and you have to anchor very close to other boats. I can't tell you how many times I've almost gotten my anchor lines run over. When they leave and pull their stern anchor is when it tends to get even worse.
Thank you for your instructional video. But my question is I have a windlass on my 22’ Center console, is it better to put the windlass in free fall mode or is holding down the button a better option. What do you recommend or advise? Thank you.
Great question. If it’s easy for you to go in free fall like a “pro fish” windlass I would do free fall. Some are trickier to get loose than others. Either way will get the job done.
