Editorial Reviews:
Product Description The Capstan 300 is a smaller power assisted rope capstan for a variety of uses. It has a maximum pull of 300 lbs with a retrieval speed of 85 feet per minute. Whether anchoring, sailing, or fishing, let the Capstan 300 help spare your back, speed up your retrieval process, and make your boating more pleasurable.
Amazon.com Product Description Capstans offer a mechanical advantage over the hand-over-hand method of retrieving lines. Not only does a capstan do the heavy lifting and require only a small amount of manual effort from the user, but it's also much faster and safer than hand-over-hand pulling. The Powerwinch Capstan 300, for instance, offers a maximum pull of 300 pounds and a retrieval speed of 85 feet per minute. As a result, the Capstan 300 is ideally suited to a variety of uses, from retrieving anchors to assisting with sails to pulling crab or lobster pots from the sea floor. The capstan works via an easy-to-operate foot switch (included) that connects to your boat battery. Just press the foot lever and the capstan starts pulling, helping spare your back, speed up the retrieval process, and make your boating experience more pleasurable.
The maximum speed of the Capstan 300 depends on the rotational speed of the drum. To adjust the retrieval speed, simply decrease the tension on the retrieved line, which in turn helps you maintain control over a very heavy load with little effort. Boaters will also love the all-aluminum housing, durable polyester paint finish, and stainless-steel shafts, fasteners, and hardware, which stand up to nasty weather and heavy use. In fact, capstans are made with only a few mechanical parts, which not only make them easier to use, but also less prone to problems. Other features include a deck-mounted design that saves space for a rope locker; support for unlimited rope lengths; and heat-treated, oil-impregnated one-piece gears.
