Andersen RA2040010000 40ST 2-Speed Self-Tailing Marine Winch Full Stainless Steel

The Andersen 40ST Full Stainless Self-Tailing Winch combines precision engineering with stunning aesthetics for sailors who demand both performance and beauty. This premium 2-speed manual winch features all components manufactured from beautifully polished grade 316 stainless steel, including the drive shaft, stripper arm, self-tailing jaws, drum, and upper and lower trim rings.

Exclusive Power Rib Technology:

Unlike traditional winches with abrasive drum surfaces, Andersen's exclusive Power Rib drum features vertical ribs running up a smooth polished stainless steel surface, providing maximum grip with minimum wear on ropes and reducing replacement costs of sheets and halyards. Fewer turns on the winch make tacking easier, and sheets can be gently eased out without harsh snatching, significantly reducing the risks of overrides and jammed sheets.

Key Features:

• 360-degree rotating self-tailing arm for optimum positioning with stainless steel jaws that automatically adjust to suit various rope sizes
• Dual gear ratios: 1st speed 1.3:1 (Power Ratio 8.9:1), 2nd speed 6.0:1 (Power Ratio 40.0:1)
• Drums manufactured from cold-formed grade 316L stainless steel with grade 329 duplex stainless steel drive shafts and virtually unbreakable grade 316 stainless steel pawls, with aluminum bronze center stems for ultimate durability
• Stainless steel roller bearings and ball bearings carry drum loads to the center stem, minimizing friction losses
• Designed for simple installation and straightforward maintenance, requiring service only every two years under normal recreational use
