The New Viper GRAVITY FEED S Series Free Fall Winch (patent pending) was developed by Bell Marine after 3 years of R&D and 2 years of field testing. The Viper Gravity Feed has now proven itself to be a serious contender in the high performance anchoring arena. Our home grown mechanical free fall gives you the peace of mind, reliability, and performance not found in free spooling winches.
- The all-new all-stainless steel Gravity Feed has been designed without any additional electronics, wiring or solenoids that can be the downfall in harsh boating environments, hence making our mechanical design a preferred method when it comes to a Free Fall Drum Winch
- The new drop speed will ensure your anchor hits the bottom exactly where you want it, when you want it. At the touch of a switch, the Viper Gravity Feed winch free spools the drum allowing your rope, chain and anchor to fall at a high speed, giving you ultimate anchoring speed, which enables you to get on to your GPS mark.
- Another part of our ground breaking design is the implementation of a drag mechanism which prevents the drum from over spooling once the anchor hits the ground.
- If you are anchoring in deep water and/or require high performance anchoring, the new Gravity Feed winch is the one for you - its quiet and efficient operation also conserves your battery due to no power drain on the down drop, and runs at up to 4x faster than some drum winches using our mechanical patented design.
This bundle includes the 90m of 6mm Double Braid Rope with 8m of shock cord and 8m of 6mm Short Link Chain (Total of 98m Rope/Chain)
- With a bullet proof 5-year Viper performance warranty, you can’t go past a Viper. Supplied with everything you need to install it, including a 5mm stainless steel sandwich plate, all required s/s bolts/screws/nylocs/washers, 2 face plates depending on your dash space and even your rope chain and even swivel are included.
- All you have to add is your own cabling or one of our factory made Viper tinned copper marine wiring loom, you will never have to break your back pulling up your anchor andchain again!
PLEASE NOTE: 3B&S cables are already attached to our motor, sealed and leak tested, ensuring a IP68 rating, just connect your wiring loom to the winch motor cables via the factory fitted marine tinned joiners.
