How To Pick Your EFF™
EFF2S-100
The EFF2S-100 works with all of our Drum Winches up to the 2000 Models. Make a Quick anchor winch to reach speeds well over 100m a minute.
EFF2S-200
EFF2S-200 works with all of our Drum Winches up to the 4000 Models. Savwinch designed this model for the option to have those larger boats fitted with better anchor dropping speeds.
Wireless Fast Fall
This model works with winch models up to 2000. The extra feature of a wireless remote pre-built into the fast fall, allows you to use your Winch in Fast Fall mode with no additional wiring!
What Is EFF™?
It is mechanically clutch free, which increases the speed of the motor on the way down for a Quick anchor winch.
World's First
We are proud to have the world's first electronic Fast Fall system for boat winches, with a patented award winning design.
Clutch-Free Speed Increase
It is mechanically clutch free, which increases the speed of the motor on the way down for a Quick anchor winch. The Free Fall is comparably as fast as you can freely drop your anchor.
No Extra Current Draw
Other winch brands go up just as quickly as they go down, this draws more current, which could lead to overloads, battery drainage, and winch failure.
Faster Than Fixed-Speed Winches
The Savwinch Fast Fall system drops the anchor significantly faster than all other fixed speed boat winches.
EFF™ Vs A Standard Electric Lower
| Standard Electric Lower | EFF™ Electronic Fast Fall | |
|---|---|---|
| Drop mechanism | Controlled motor lower, same speed up and down | Electronic friction brake release, decoupled from retrieval speed |
| Drop speed | Slow, motor governed | Over 100 metres per minute |
| Clutch required | No | No |
| Control | Wired switch | Wired switch or wireless remote, depending on model |
| Best for | General anchoring | Anglers and boaties who anchor often or need a fast drop |
Note: the Commercial Series uses a separate true free fall system built around a mechanical clutch and friction plate, a different mechanism to EFF™ and outside the scope of this page. See the Commercial Series winches page for that system.
Which EFF™ Suits Your Winch
Which EFF™ Suits Your Winch
How do I know which EFF™ kit fits my winch?
EFF-2S-100 and EFF-2S-100 Wireless suit any Savwinch drum winch up to and including the 2000 model. EFF-2S-200 is the heavy-duty version for the 3000 and 4000 models, with a built-in solenoid for simpler wiring. If you are not sure which fits your model, call +61 3 8361 8841 or email info@savwinch.com and we will confirm before you order. Full fitting steps are in the Drum Winch instruction manual.
What is the difference between the standard and wireless EFF™?
Both give the same fast-fall performance. EFF-2S-100 Wireless adds a built-in remote for the winch and fast-fall mode, so you can operate from anywhere on the boat with no extra wiring required.
Can I add EFF™ to a winch I already own?
Yes. All three EFF™ kits fit the winch rather than replacing it, so you keep the drum and gearbox you already trust.
Is EFF™ available factory-fitted on new winches?
Yes, EFF™ can be fitted at the factory on new units as well as retrofitted. Ask when you order.
