Abstract
An anchor winch system includes a support arm, an end effector, a guide channel, a winch, a cable and an anchor. The anchor winch system enables a user to deploy an anchor that is stored within the C or Z channels of a pontoon or tritoon boat. The support arm is mounted along the C or Z channel and the end effector is mounted onto an end of the support arm. The end effector is a holding apparatus that retains the anchor in a stowed position when not deployed. The guide channel traverses through the support arm, and the cable is threaded through the guide channel. The winch is tethered to one end of the cable and the anchor is tethered to the opposite end. Thus, the winch is able to deploy or retract the anchor by paying out or reeling in the cable.
