Deck-mounted brake - V8

As the name implies, the deck-mounted brake is installed so as to cross the deck. It can therefore be located separately from the windlass .

This system transmits the braking force from the wheel to the windlass, and locks the chain when the anchor is dropped .

This type of brake is particularly suited to considerations with limited deck space.

It can be used on all V8 deck units fitted with a remote brake: V8 deck units and high-power V8 deck units.
