If you do not have room on deck for a permanently mounted winch, or you simply do not want to leave it on the boat when you are not using it, a removable winch mount might be the answer.
The removable mount works by dropping the bracket into a pair of vertical rod holders and then clamping it to the side of your boat. It is designed for:
The Maxwell Anchormax Pot Winch, with a cutout that allows the winch to be dropped straight in
Different gunwhale widths, thanks to an adjustable clamp
Different rod holder positions, with a maximum gap of 40cm and a minimum of 20cm
It will not suit every boat or every setup, but it is a great option if your gunwhales are too narrow for a permanent winch. Pair it with one of our fully sealed aluminium footswitch boxes and you will have an easy on off winch setup for your crayfishing season.
