The unit is smaller in size than some other winches which is nice if you place it in a bow anchor locker. This unit will handle both chain and rope Advise that you have the electrics installed by a pro, because you will need circuit braaker at least 50amp as well as wiring to your up/down switch. Our switch is mounted on the helm dash. It is very important to have the proper size wire cable from your battery to the breaker and then to the winch. Consider that you will need 2 cables (+ & -) The reason I'm saying this is we watched a boat catch fire last year while pulling in their anchor. Turns out the cable wasn't of proper size and they did not have a circuit breaker. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
