Personally I'd have got the 1000. Mind you looking at their product selection tool on the web site, it looks like they don't do the 1000 anymore. Not for my chain and rope size anyway. Did you use the selection tool? 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 Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 35mm csa minimum, maybe 50mm if you can bend it. They pull a lot of current so bigger area cable will give you less voltage drop from your battery, especially if it’s a long run.

My old lewmar windlass had a plastic stripper(Fleming) that I replaced 3 times. In the end I made one up out of metal that lasted until I upgraded. on my other old boat it was fitted with a 1000 master winch that had a metal arm nightmare jon they do a metal one but it 100 qwid not paying that if it go again then i will see about making one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
