| Capstans Why Capstans? Rather than using the hand-over-hand method of retrieving lines, the capstan offers a mechanical advantage that is both faster and safer. The capstan does the heavy lifting with only a small amount of effort. The maximum speed of the line retrieval depends on the rotational speed of the drum. The benefit is that the retrieval speed can be adjusted by decreasing the tension on the retrieved line, maintaining control over a very heavy load with little effort. This useful device, which has been around since the early days of sailing, is still used today. Recreational fishermen, like commercial fishermen, use these for hauling crab and lobster pots and there are many other uses aboard boats. The few mechanical parts and ease of use have made this a favorite of fisherman worldwide. While chains should NEVER be wrapped around a drum, the majority of lines can be handled on a capstan. A capstan, typically operated by an easy to use footswitch (shown above), allows the boater to control lines with ease without having additional crew members. Powerwinch has a model to fit your needs. All Powerwinch capstans come with a foot control switch that allows for hands-free operation.

Comments about Powerwinch Quick Catch Pot Puller:
I bought this as an anchor puller for my 22' boat. I use a Fortress aluminum anchor with 10' of chain so the total load is not that much. I timed the first pull and it did 200' of line in 1 minute 20 seconds. Much faster than other powerwinch capstan pullers I have used. Great when you are trying to find the perfect halibut spot in 300' of water. Installation was straight forward although 56' of marine 6 ga. wire added $130 to the cost of the winch.
