Winches are powerful tools, but incorrect installation can pose serious risks. To ensure both your safety and the reliability of your winch, Savwinch strongly recommends professional installation by a trained marine mechanic or marine electrician. Proper setup not only protects your equipment but also ensures smooth and trouble-free operation on the water.
Both winches and capstans help with pulling heavy loads, but they work in different ways. A drum winch has a barrel that winds up rope or steel cable as it pulls. A capstan, on the other hand, has a rotating drum that provides pulling power but doesn’t wind the rope or cable around it. Instead, the line stays free, allowing for continuous movement.
If you need to lift, haul, or secure something on the water, choosing the right tool makes all the difference.
Keeping your anchor winch in top shape is simple with regular care. Even high-quality 316 stainless steel can rust, so routine cleaning is key. Here’s how to maintain your winch for long-lasting performance:
- Rinse Regularly – Unwind the rope and wash the winch thoroughly to remove sand, salt, and grit.
- Dry & Protect – After cleaning, dry the winch completely and apply a light spray of lanolin or a similar lubricant to prevent corrosion.
- Check for Damage – Any scratches or damage to the surface should be repaired immediately to avoid rust.
- Use a Cover – When not in use, a close-fitting cover helps protect your winch from the elements.
Yes, you can use a boat anchor winch in saltwater conditions, but it’s important to choose a winch made from the right materials to ensure long-lasting performance. Marine-grade 316 stainless steel is the ideal choice for saltwater environments due to its superior corrosion resistance, thanks to the molybdenum alloy.
To ensure your winch is marine-grade, use a magnet—marine-grade stainless steel (like 316) will not be magnetic. You can also perform spark and acid tests to verify its quality. By selecting a winch made from genuine marine-grade stainless steel, you can count on durability and effectiveness in saltwater.
