If you desire the convenience of electric winches but have limited below-deck space, Andersen Compact Motor™ Electric Winches are the perfect choice.
These winches use a purpose-built, ultra-compact motor that was developed specifically to fit in the base of a winch. With its impressive line speed and high load capacity, this small but powerful motor is the perfect power source for difficult electric winch placements.
Significantly, the Compact Motor features variable speed operation. The operator can control the speed of the winch using the included, covered, magnetic push-button switch which senses the pressure applied and translates that into winch speed.
The Compact Motor Electric Winch is available in two models for either above-deck or below-deck motor placement...and each of these is available as "all stainless steel" or stainless steel with black trim.
The Below Deck motor model takes up less space than other electric winch motors, making it the perfect choice where space is limited.
In the Above Deck motor model, the winch is mounted directly on top of the motor housing, which is perfect for deck or mast installations where no space is available below.
Extremely easy to install and maintain, Compact Motor winches integrate the motor, gears, and power control unit into one super compact unit with no extra control box necessary. Cables are connected directly to the contacts in the motor base.
An Andersen exclusive, the Compact Electric Winch motor is built on an entirely new commutator principle using no carbon brushes — resulting in the virtual elimination of the wear and tear of traditional electric motor designs.
The Compact Motor uses 30 - 50% less power, yet can be positioned within the diameter of a standard winch mounting footprint for tight space applications.
