Savwinch Capstan Series

Shop Savwinch Capstan Series winches at Blue Bottle Marine. Designed for powered rope handling aboard your boat, Savwinch capstans provide a practical solution for retrieving anchor rope and assisting with other suitable marine rope-handling applications.

Savwinch Capstan Winches

Unlike a drum anchor winch that stores the rope on the winch itself, a capstan provides powered assistance for pulling rope while allowing the operator to control and manage the line.

This makes a capstan a versatile option for boats where powered rope handling is required without the rope storage of a conventional drum winch.

When choosing a Savwinch capstan, consider:

Vessel size and application
Expected working load
Rope size and type
Available installation space
Mounting position
Electrical system and power requirements
Intended rope-handling requirements

Powered Rope Handling for Your Boat

A capstan can reduce the manual effort involved in handling rope under load, making tasks such as anchor retrieval more manageable.

The operator maintains control of the rope as it passes around the capstan, allowing the line to be fed and stored separately.

Correct operation and installation are important, so always follow the specifications and operating instructions for the individual Savwinch model.

Choosing the Right Savwinch Capstan

The right capstan will depend on your boat, the load being handled, rope requirements and available installation space.

Before choosing a model, check its capacity, electrical requirements, mounting dimensions and compatible rope specifications. This is particularly important when installing a capstan as part of an existing anchoring system.

Savwinch Capstans for Marine Applications

Savwinch offers capstan options for marine rope-handling applications, providing an alternative to drum and traditional anchor winch configurations.

Whether you're planning a new installation or replacing an existing capstan, selecting a model suited to your vessel and intended use will help ensure the complete system operates as intended.
