UniPower Self-Tailing Radial Electric Winch - 12V DC, Chrome, 5/16" - 9/16" Line

The UniPower is a single-speed winch that provides the advantages of a low-profile manual winch with the power of a 12- or 24-volt, low amp-draw motor, as desired.

What makes the UniPower unique is that the motor is partially imbedded inside the drum, so that it extends only 4-1/8" (105 mm) below the winch base - a critical feature for small boats where space under the cabin top is limited.

With the UniPower, even small yachts can now enjoy the convenience of raising sails ot trimming genoas or mainsails at the touch of a button.

For convenient installation, the UniPower winches in this entry are all Winch KITS and include — winch with motor and a separate up/down control box with built-in current limiter. See below for further details.

The UniPower 900 winches are available with a durable lightweight aluminum drum, or a mirror-finished chromed bronze drum.
High strength composite self-tailing jaws and base skirt help save weight. Composite roller bearings reduce friction under load and don’t require lubrication.
The stripper arm and load carrying gears on both aluminum and chrome versions are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and durability.
The gripping surface on the drum is specifically shaped for maximum performance with each drum material, and features diagonal ribs (rather than an abrasive texture) to maximize gripping power while greatly reducing line wear.

• Low profile motor preserves head space belowdeck
