|
|
West Marine is having a big sale on the Powerwinch (free fall) Windlasses, and has the Model #30 (for boats up to 30 feet), with 600lb maximum load, on sale for $479. I think it has been replaced by a newer Model #31.
Does anyone have any experience with the Powerwinch brand, or with the pros and cons of free fall winches as opposed to power-down winches?
I was thinking of buying it and a $149 Simpson Lawrence pivoting self-launch bow roller to try and get my 22' so I can anchor more safely when alone. |

I'm not familiar with the Powerwinch, but love the self-launching, pivoting bow roller. It works great with my Delta 14.
