Powerwinch Marine Products: Winches, Parts & Windlasses for Boaters
Powerwinch has been a trusted name in the marine industry for over 50 years, specializing in manufacturing high-quality trailer winches and anchor windlasses. Fisheries Supply offers a comprehensive selection of Powerwinch products, including electric and manual models, to cater to boaters and DIY enthusiasts.
Powerwinch Anchor Windlasses
Powerwinch anchor windlasses are designed for efficient anchor handling, providing both free-fall and power retrieval options. The Class 31 Free-Fall Anchor Windlass is suitable for boats up to 31 feet, featuring a durable aluminum housing with an e-coat primer and polyester powder coat for a chip-resistant finish. It includes a precision rode guidance system to ensure proper rope grip and comes with a helm-mounted toggle switch and an appropriate thermal circuit breaker to prevent motor damage under heavy loads.
For larger boats up to 36 feet, the Class 36 Free-Fall Anchor Windlass offers similar features, emphasizing quick anchor deployment through its patented free-fall mechanism, which drops faster than power-down systems and conserves valuable battery reserves during overnight anchoring.
Powerwinch Capstans
Capstans provide versatile mechanical advantage for various marine applications. The Capstan 1000 Windlass is ideal for retrieving lobster, prawn, and crab pots, as well as providing power assist for sailboats with shorthanded crews. It boasts an all-aluminum housing with a durable polyester finish and stainless steel internal components, handling standard marine line with high pulling efficiency.
For lighter tasks, the Capstan 300 Windlass offers a maximum pull of 300 lbs with a retrieval speed of 85 feet per minute, making anchoring, line handling, or recreational pot-fishing much more manageable.
