How Automatic Free-Fall Works
Deploying a Muir Free-Fall Drum Winch is fast, controlled, and effortless. Follow these three simple steps for smooth and safe anchoring.
1. Hold Down to Engage Free-Fall
Hold the rocker switch down for 3 seconds to activate the automatic free-fall clutch, then release.
2. Allow the Drum to Spool Out
The anchor will rapidly deploy under control. Do not touch the UP switch until the drum fully stops spinning.
3. Take Up Excess Slack
Press the UP switch briefly to re-engage the clutch and remove any slack.
Note: In rough conditions, always secure the anchor to a deck cleat or chain stopper after deployment.
