The horizontal capstan is installed above the deck, so the installation is straightforward and maintenance is easy. On the other hand, this means the motor is more exposed to the weather conditions. The horizontal capstan is the capstan mounted above the deck with a compact motor and gearbox used for anchoring and mooring. The capstan tends to be more self-contained and protects the machinery from the corrosive marine environment.
