The UniPower is a single-speed winch that provides the advantages of a low-profile manual winch with the power of a 12- or 24-volt, low amp-draw motor, as desired.
What makes the UniPower unique is that the motor is partially embedded inside the drum, so that it extends only 4-1/8" (105 mm) below the winch base - a critical feature for small boats where space under the cabin top is limited.
With the UniPower, even small yachts can now enjoy the convenience of raising sails or trimming genoas or mainsails at the touch of a button.
For convenient installation, the UniPower winches in this entry are all Winch KITS and include — a winch with motor and a separate up/down control box with a built-in current limiter. See below for further details.
The UniPower 900 winches are available with a durable lightweight aluminum drum, or a mirror-finished chromed bronze drum.
High-strength composite self-tailing jaws and base skirts help save weight. Composite roller bearings reduce friction under load and don’t require lubrication.
The stripper arm and load-carrying gears on both aluminum and chrome versions are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and durability.
The gripping surface on the drum is specifically shaped for maximum performance with each drum material and features diagonal ribs (rather than an abrasive texture) to maximize gripping power while greatly reducing line wear.
What's in the box?
Kit includes - (1) UniPower winch with motor and (1) single-speed combination solenoid control box with a built-in digital current controller (WLC200R) to protect your deck hardware by electronically limiting the winch’s maximum pull to 1,984 lb (900 kg). (The load controller used to be sold separately as an upgrade.) The control box has terminals for analog switches as well as digital switches.
The customer must supply two waterproof analog or digital switches, an 80 (12V) or 40 (24V) Amp circuit breaker, a 5 Amp inline fuse, and wire for making connections. See Accessory Products, below.
