Our loyal customers have nothing but praise for the South Pacific windlass range. Here are just some reviews from our happy customers: Hi Bernadette Please find some pictures of the windless, it’s been an easy fitment and the instructions and the cd were a tremendous help. Especially the part where it’s explained how to splice a rope. Not many people know how to do this. There is no negative regarding the power of the winch. A couple of times the anchor has been caught on the bottom and stopped the winch. This is quite normal, however the clutch held it strong until i freed the anchor. ......I cannot speak highly enough of this product; it’s a quality windless at a really low price. Kind regards happy customer Your capstan is going a "Bomb". Its fitted to my Manxman, a 23ft heavy fishing, diving, touring open boat with a forward cabin, and a Mercruser Inboard Engine, built in the Isle of Man, a populated island in the Irish sea. I am delighted with the capstan, the boat is a bit heavy at 1.7 Ton and I have a good few miles up (69years!). The boat is on a swinging mooring in a little harbour, Quilty, on the West of Ireland, My problem was mooring, I had to grab the mooring buoy with a boat hook, rush up to the bow and try to stop the 1.7 ton boat as it drifted away in the inevitable wind. It is so much easier now, I have a quick release clip (caribena), I can attach on a rope at the steering position and let it all go and the boat drifts back until it holds on the capstan. In my comfortable time, I can then use the rope and capstan to pull the boat back to the mooring and not only that but the capstan is powerful enough to lift the mooring chain, and hold it, while I attach it to the boat bollard. That’s precisely what I bought it for and it does the job admirably. I would frequently be on my own and pulling up to the mooring against the wind on this very exposed coast was becoming a bit much. It's no bother now. Good luck for now and stay between the ditches.
