Why choose a portable Powerwincher over a built-in electric sailboat winch?

• It costs significantly less and requires no professional installation. • No need to upgrade onboard power systems. • Eliminates risk of over-torque damage-controlled by your hand. • Works with all standard winches and can be moved around the boat as needed. • Lightweight, stowable, and easy to use for all ages and fitness levels.

Is the Powerwincher strong enough for large sailboats?

Yes, if the winch is designed correctly for the job, the Powerwincher will do the job faster and for longer than manually. It has been tested on yachts up to 60 feet and used for hoisting mainsails, trimming headsails, and raising dinghies-with or without the SOLO restrainer.

This robust and heavy-duty electric winching device effectively converts most winches to electric facilitating huge savings for the astute sailors.

Unique features of the Powerwincher sailboat electric winch handle is that it uses a standard off-the-shelf Milwaukee battery (or generic copy), available almost everywhere worldwide. Plus it is the only electric winch handle that has the option to quickly and easily drop on the SOLO bracket to allow remote operation using a handpiece. The SOLO bracket takes the heavy load and can be operated at a distance or just used to hold the Powerwincher in place and take the heavy load. The SOLO attachment was launched at a recent Boat Show in Australia with huge success. Every Powerwincher customer at the boat show chose to include the SOLO after seeing it in operation. View the videos linked to our homepage to see how easily the SOLO is dropped into place.

Powerwincher is the most robust and powerful electric winch handle available at the best value for money.

Powerwincher, the sailboat electric winch handle will do anything you can do with a manual winch handle, but better, faster and for longer!
