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.\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA capstan, typically operated by an easy to use footswitch (R001459), 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont class=\"large\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCapstan 1000\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMulti-purpose rope winch for anchoring, sailing \u0026amp; Fishing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e1000 pounds of pulling power!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur largest capstan, the Capstan 1000, is a power assisted rope capstan for larger applications with 1000 pound pull power and 40 ft\/minute retrieval speed.
