The Auto Anchor 730 is a wired anchor control system featuring a 4-meter spiral cable, allowing boaters to deploy and retrieve their anchor with the push of a button from a handheld remote. With a built-in digital chain counter, it accurately tracks the length of the anchor rope and chain deployed, enhancing safety and convenience. With four additional outputs in the base station, the system also supports thruster operation and other auxiliary units, allowing for more installation options.
