My winch was already on the boat when I bought it Dave, so I don't know that answer.
If you need some wire I have some, look in the "for sale" section for details. 

i allready got a load of cable mate thanks for the offer i was just wondering what gauge   many thanks bud just going back up now to wire it up and solder the end and heat shrink them

Let us know how that goes, and how you got round it!! 

yes mate used the selection tool and spoke to them direct all good just got to install it all looks like i might have another problem it says max deck thickness is 30 mm mine is 36 at present  

i went for the x1 700 watt motor just got to do the install now got to move the samson post so i can centre it  i think my power cables up yo it and switch wires should be fine

My daughter put one of her clients onto this hound this morning. They also released a nice little mako of around 40kg. 
 

well santas a good boy this year he is fetching my new lofrans windlass early  thanks santa  should be here tomorrow our thursday

Here's another test with various anchors. What I like about the sarca is that I'm able to drop to very light anchors and use the same anchor for sand, mud, gravel and reef.  What style of anchor are you using, is it for a muddy or sandy bottom in the channel. When I do those remote offshore trips there's a possibility I might have to anchor in the lee of an island during a cyclone. Having an anchor system where I can run almost all the anchor line out in around 10m of water gives an extremely good chance of holding, hence why these are so popular here. I do tend to carry a second anchor setup on those remote trips as backup.
 

well done bud nice fish 

sorry to hear that bud  at least you tryed  to get out its not worth damaging the boat hopefully get out over xmas 

I’ve got sacrificial boards to protect the gelcoat. Been down for years and still ok. Obviously don’t look as nice as gel cuts but given a load of chain rattling on them I’d rather looking a bit naff instead of knocking out chunks of gel coat 

If it’s any consolation I heard the fishing has been crap…. But would of been nice to try at least 😞
