Lone Star Marine GX1 Winch
The GX1 is the strongest, fastest, winch of its size on the market today. They have been designed to fit into the smallest of anchor wells and are ideal for anglers in craft up to 6m when used in saltwater, and even larger boats for placid water use. Each GX series winch features custom engineered drive components to deliver a faster speed with an amazing amount of grunt. No bushes, split pins, actuators, springs, clutches, or additional circuitry to fail. Nothing extra to buy. Just fast, reliable anchoring.

How to choose a Drum Winch?
The best method of choosing a winch for your vessel is to correlate the desired amount, size of rope and chain for your needs, then choose the appropriate sized model based on drum size and capacity.
How not to choose a winch
Motor size. One company’s 500w motor is another company’s 1500w motor. “Motor Size”, whether stated ‘’spec’’ or physical dimension alone, is no indication of ultimate quality, pulling power, speed, efficiency, rating status, duty cycle, or ultimate longevity. Not all winch companies comply to IEC motor ratings to duty cycle. The ‘stated wattage’ may be to IEC spec, maximum input for a short amount of
time, maximum output for a short amount of time, or a generally ficticious number. Regarding properly rated motors such as LSM, motor output is only relevant in relation to the drum diameter and gearing, not boat length. LSM winches are held to International Standards so you can rest assured our drives are conservatively rated. All LSM winch models use well oversized drives per drum diameter, more power than you’ll ever need and are purpose built to pull the heaviest possible rope and chain per recommended boat size.
