 Its a robust unit that has a heap of pull,top nut needs to be tighten some times as it can work loose.I just bought a new rope for mine as it will fray the rope after a while as it has so much torque.I would recommend getting a 8 strand rope as the 3 strand develops a memory pretty quick.I use the lewmar self launch anchor with it. Good set up that will last for ages,I had it on my boat for 4 years and never had a issue.
