Description
The Revo® is Lewmar's range of electrically operated, reversing winches.
With the touch of a button, sailors are able to trim sails both in and out.
Push one button and the winch sheets in quickly to the working load limit. A well-matched motor removes the added complication of switching between slow and fast forward gears.
Simply push a second button to allow the winch to pay out the line.
The insertion of a winch handle automatically changes to a familiar two speed manual operation.
• While we specifically list the 40CST, Revo winches are available in 5 sizes (40, 45, 50, 55,and 65)
• No modification to standard bolt pattern and deck cut-out
• Direct size-for-size upgrade from a standard electric EVO® winch
• Simple two button operation; rope in, rope out
• Operates as a normal two speed winch when winch handle inserted
• Four patents pending
When back-winding, the Revo relies on load to strip the line off the drum, avoiding tangles and ensuring the line is released in the right circumstance.
In order to maximise the performance of the Revo winch, applications with minimal mechanical advantage are best, such as genoa or gennaker sheets. Mainsheet systems with mechanical purchase advantage may present too little load for the back-wind feature to work.
Small diameter, high tech lines are reccomended.
