The Lone Star drum winches are manufactured in Australia and are built with premium components, including electric motors with twin shaft bearings, and triple seals, and have an IP68 waterproof rating. Conventional verticle winches often have problems with the chain becoming entangled in the locker, preventing fast anchor sets when needed. The drum windlass system eliminates that problem. Also, setting and retrieving anchors can be done remotely from the safety and comfort of the helm.
