Overview
The Profish gearbox is a spur-gear design wrapped in a stainless housing, with a gypsy for rope and chain. Automatic freefall drops the anchor on a spot, and this kit adds a rocker switch and contactor.
The reason to buy is a freefall system for anglers who want to anchor quickly over a wreck and retrieve with a button. The kit is built for above-deck installation. The limitation is that the shared description covers both models, so kit contents and pull figures need checking.
Who it's for
Fishermen who reposition often will use the automatic drop and the manual recovery option. Owners of larger boats, vertical installs or other chain sizes should check the maker's range.
Pros and cons
- Automatic freefall drops anchor quickly
- Stainless control arm and stripper
- Manual recovery with a socket wrench
- DIY-ready above-deck install
- Description mixes two models
- Boat length range not listed
- Horizontal layout only
- Control parts differ by model
Performance notes
Freefall lets chain run out under the anchor's weight without using the motor, so the boat does not need to hover. Retrieval force depends on the motor and gearbox, and the pull rating is the ceiling. Manual recovery works if the electrical system fails.
