Electric Self-Tailing Unipower Radial Polished Bronze Winch
Electric winches allow crew to trim any size sail with the push of a button. Choices include 1, 2-, and 3-speeds, in self-tailing, shaped or sandblasted grips, standard or wide drums. Available in aluminum, chrome, aluminum/stainless, stainless steel, or bronze, in 12- or 24-volt. Energy-efficient motors accomplish more work per unit of electricity consumed. Motors attach to central drive shaft and drive through winch gears for mechanical advantage.
The UniPower is a single-speed winch that combines the advantages of a low-profile manual winch with the power of a 12- or 24-volt, low-amp-draw motor. What makes it unique is that the motor is partially imbedded inside the drum, so that it extends only 105 mm (4 1/8") below the winch base—a critical feature for small boats where space under the cabin top is limited.
Bronze winches combine the elegance of highly-polished finishes with the dependable low-friction pulling power of Harken gearing systems.
