Yes, the 1100W pot winch can be installed on smaller vessels, but careful consideration of weight, balance and deck space is required. It’s more powerful and heavier than the 900PH, so recreational users should ensure proper mounting and battery capacity. When correctly installed, it offers higher-grade hauling performance even on smaller boats.

• The 1100W cray pot hauler delivers higher lifting capacity and faster pulling speeds, designed for heavy pots and frequent hauling. The 900PH provides moderate power and speed, making it suitable for lighter loads and recreational use. Choosing the right winch depends on the weight of your pots and how efficiently you want to retrieve them.

The 1100PH is optimised for longer rope or chain runs, thanks to its More durable motor. It maintains smooth, consistent pulling even under extended load, reducing strain on the system. The 900PH performs well for shorter runs, but may struggle with heavy or extended hauls.

The 1100PH features a fully sealed, marine-grade motor designed to resist corrosion and withstand continuous use. The 900PH motor is durable but lighter-duty, with adequate corrosion protection for lighter recreational applications. For harsh marine environments, the 1100PH’s reinforced design ensures longer lifespan and minimal maintenance.

Regular fresh water rinsing, especially after saltwater use, is key. For stainless steel, occasional polishing keeps it looking sharp. For aluminium, inspect coatings for chips or wear and touch up to prevent oxidation.
