Muir offers one-touch anchoring

Tasmanian anchor manufacturer, Muir, says for one touch, easy anchoring and security in knowing just how much chain is out its AutoAnchor is hard to beat.

They say the top of the range model AutoAnchor 500RCX will dock the anchor automatically by remote control, ideal for vessels where it is difficult to see the windlass or anchor rode from the helm.

The 500RCX also incorporates motor overload protection and automatic cut-out to stop the anchoring operation if the windlass jams. It's operable with all chain or rope/chain combination rodes and it replaces the solenoids with solid state switching.

Muir says the system is compatible with all brands of windlass and it's housed in an attractive and compact console unit with a large backlit LCD display. All AutoAnchor models have a safety lock to reduce unwanted windlass operation, adjustable red backlighting for easier night operation and electronic diagnostics to provide troubleshooting information.
