Find the right Winch for your boat

The information on this page should only be relied on as general advice. Many factors influence which winch we would recommend for your boat, including but not limited to…

• the mounting area
• average anchoring depth
• offshore vs onshore use
• total boat length
• total operating boat weight (including passengers and fish/gear weight)

Sometimes Smaller is Better

In some situations a very large boat may only require a small winch, or a smaller boat may require a larger winch. For example, a large houseboat travelling in shallow river systems might not need a large winch. If you are unsure please feel free to contact us or one of our retails for advice. Alternatively, read the information below.
