Yes. A two year limited warranty applies to the Powerwincher device.
Yes, the Powerwincher is proudly designed in Australia.
As light as good engineering permits. Have you tried picking up the components of your permanent electric sailboat winch?
Powerwincher is lighter and includes the battery!
We don’t use any plastic internal load components.
It depends totally on the load. On average with normal use a battery will last for days. Under full working load we test every unit for over 15 minutes with battery capacity still remaining.
Because we only use heavy duty metal gears, not plastic gears to absorb the sound.
Because when you are using Powerwincher you are sitting inside the cockpit coaming instead of on your knees leaning over the side deck with your body weight half hanging out. Especially dangerous when the boat is healing. Powerwincher keeps you inside the cockpit.
Lots of reasons. Firstly, an electric sailboat winch kit will generally cost more than a Powerwincher electric winch handle and the kit still needs to be installed at further cost.
In addition, for many, the battery banks on board need to be increased because the electric sailboat winches are so far away from the batteries, thereby requiring more power.
Our battery is inside the Powerwincher so the power loss is negligible making the battery very efficient.
Also inbuilt electric sailboat winches cannot be torque controlled, if used by the untrained they can break gear very easily.
Our Powerwincher is controlled by your arm, if you can’t wind your winch you can’t hold Powerwincher. You can’t damage your boat by using it.
The Powerwincher can be used on most winches on your boat and make any winch more powerful.
Faster than you can wind after one minute, and still going after 10 minutes. You can power-wind the Powerwincher to produce well over 120 rpm, much faster than you can wind normally.
