Well, the time is here to add some mechanical assistance to the r/v so I dont have to pull sediment samples by hand.

Anyone have any experience with either of these?

It would be for pulling less than 100lbs in usually less than 100ft of water.

Thanks

Look into Simpson/Lawrence products, they have a good reputation.

I have a S/L anchor windlass (with the toothed gypsy though).

I can give you some wiring tips if you need. I learned the hard way.:musc:
