Anchor

Do you mean a system to allow you to lower and lift an anchor via radio control?

Generally this is a home build, wind the chain onto a drum and use a geared down motor you will need limit switches of some kind. You could use a drum type sail winch servo

Your anchor needs to have some heft to cut down on tangles etc.
On all the larger ships I have seen the actual mechanism is below decks so its hidden from view so your need is for function not show.
