    Default Anchor Winch Question - Help Please


    I had a Powerwinch 20 on my old boat and now I have a much bigger boat (20/72) F & F. I think that b/c this boat is so big, I need 2 anchors to hold it steady in a wind while I spider rig.

    I am looking at a TRAC Big Water 45 that will free spool drop. Has anyone used this winch. Does it work well? Is it too loud?

    Feedback PLEASE.

    Ahhhh comeon guys, no responses since Monday. I'm getting ready to drop 300+ on a couple of winches and I need some feedback. Doesn't anyone own the Trac Big Water 45. Feedback please, I'm going to order tonight if at all possible.

    I've never used the Track Big but I can tell you this.
    I had a friend give me a PowerWinch. Well I liked it so well I decided to build one.
    I ordered the motor and the spool from PowerWinch. went down to the local tractor supply bought 2 bearings. Went to radio Shack bought a DPDT switch and made my own new one. I had the first one to copy and had my own steel.
    Save myself a TON of money.
    Just an idea if your able.

    do you have a cover or is it just open? I can make the mount, but building a cover might be a real task.

    I had a bunch of 1/4" fiberglass sheets.
    I copied the old one and made it out of that.
    It needs a paint job but here it is.

    First I don't use anchors much and no winches so I am not much help. I was not on my computer yesterday so am late to this with any help.

    However I do have a great anchor and it will not hang up to the point you can't get it back.

    This anchor is about as good as it gets and not costly at all!
