Muir Atlantic vertical windlasses are available with two different clutch systems. Models with MOS (Manual Operating System) have a fixed cone clutch. For manual anchor recovery, remove the capstan (on VRC models) or top cap (VR units) and insert a special handle (ordered separately) into the top of the gypsy. Models with MORS (Manual OverRide System) feature a ratchet pawl assembly within the cone clutch. These units can be configured in two ways: electric dual direction (for power up and down) or electric retrieval with manual override. When in the latter configuration, manual recovery of the anchor is accomplished by inserting a standard winch handle (one is included with each windlass) directly into the top of the capstan or clutch cap. If the unit is configured for dual-direction electrical operation, manual retrieval is still possible after re-positioning the ratchet pawls, located underneath the cone clutch. Most users configure windlasses with MORS for dual-direction knowing they can easily reconfigure the unit if manual operation becomes necessary.

1. Hydraulic versions for all Storm/Atlantic Vertical Windlasses (except 600) are available upon request.
