Safety First
Never work on an energized motor.
An electric winch is very powerful - only competent sailors should operate an electric winch.
Before powering the winch, make sure that children and other crew are standing well clear of not
only the winch but also rope being pulled. Always be wary of what the winch is pulling on, as well
as the rope’s progression to the winch. A rope snagged or jammed on a sail, spar or rigging can
result in dangerous overloading. This is especially relevant when using a primary winch for less
demanding tasks, where the winch is overly powerful for the task at hand.
Under no circumstances should children be allowed to use an electric winch.
General Information  For above deck models make sure that the
