Diy Boat Anchor Winch
Toyota wiper motor fabricated to retrieve anchor.. I have 3 of these anchor setups on my 34' pontoon boat, and my homemade modified portable anchor winch has not let me down in 2 years. and i use my boat a minimum of 2-4 days a week in summer and 1-3 days a week in winter. rain or shine, hot or snowing! if its slightly windy out or nasty i zip down and button my canvas sides on my "cabin".. Parallel switch at the front of the boat, so i can control the winch whilst standing in the hatch if necessary. i use the reverse feature of the drill to drop anchor.
Diy anchor winch? page 1 of 1 [ 12 posts ] previous i've looked around online and haven't found much information on making your own anchor winch.. also did a quick search on here but didn't find anything. with the way i do things, probably double that. and it'd probably sink the boat if it retracted and the anchor hung up on a tree limb. Ok my anchor winch which is a maxwell 800now inside the unit is a little piece of plastic that keeps the rope pressed in against the gypsy and stops it from bunching up inside, it has at one end a plastic pin that slides into a hole now it and the spare has died with the little plastic pin snapping off and the plastic beiing spat out on the deck. Winch anchor. definitely going to build one of these. see more what others are saying "convert old cordless tools to lithium power: i have several old cordless power tools and they're all in good working condition..
