Is the maximum rated pull 925lbs (the power load)
or is it 90lbs (the working load)

I figure I'm pulling about 60lbs max. I do the pull, rest while she glides, then pull again maneuver to bring me up to the anchor if I'm not motoring up to it. Breaking it out is another story. Knowing that I'm light on windlass power, I'll not use the windlass to do that and will instead snub it down and run it over to break it free. I know that sounds horrendous but again, I'm a weekender and don't really anchor much at all; certainly not in adverse conditions. If storm conditions arise I have a large, spare yachtsman aboard with 120' of 5/16 ht and that will have to be hauled in manually as I've always done.

I think with careful management, I'll be fine. If not, I'll run back here with my tail between my legs and open myself up to a flood of "I told you so" comments. I know using this windlass is not the best boat decision I've ever made but since I already own it and despite all the advice given here, I'm going to give it a whirl.
